INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
-
The new SIR coil assembly will be centered. Improper alignment of the SIR coil assembly may damage the unit, causing an inflatable restraint
malfunction.
-
The wheels of the vehicle must be straight ahead and the steering column in the LOCK position before disconnecting the steering column or
intermediate shaft from the steering gear. Failure to do so will cause the SIR coil assembly to become uncentered, which may cause damage to the
coil assembly.
1. Verify the following:
-
The wheels on the vehicle are straight ahead.
-
That J 42640 is installed or the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the centering tab from the new SIR coil until the installation is complete. If the SIR coil does not come with a
centering tab, you must center the SIR coil.
