Notice: Ensure all fasteners are securely seated before applying needed torque. Failure to do so may result in component damage or malfunctioning of
steering column.
1. Install the wave washer.
Important:
^
Ensure that the coil assembly is centered.
^
The coil assembly becomes un-centered under the following conditions:
-
The steering column is separated from the steering gear and allowed to rotate.
-
The centering spring is pushed down (1), letting the hub rotate while the coil is removed from the steering column. In the event this occurs,
refer to Inflatable Restraint Coil Centering - Off Vehicle (Column Shift And Floor Shift) in steering wheel and column.
2. To install the SIR coil assembly, align the block tooth on the race and upper shaft assembly to the 12 o'clock position.
3. Install the pre-centered coil assembly to the steering column. Remove the centering tab (1) and discard.
Important: Gently pull on the lower coil assembly wire in order to remove any wire kinks inside of the column assembly. Ensure that there are NO
kinks or bends in the SIR coil assembly wire. If a kink or bend is present interference may occur with the shaft lock mechanism. Turning the steering
wheel may cut or damage the wire.
4. Install the coil assembly (2) using the following components for alignment:
^
The horn tower (1) on the canceling cam assembly inner ring
^
The projections on the outer ring
