4. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position.
5. Conduct diagnostic test using the scan tool to ensure entire SRS operates properly.
6. Turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position. Disconnect the negative battery cable and tape the terminal to prevent accidental connection and

<B> CLOCK SPRING INSTALLATION
Align the mating marks of the clock spring. Turn the front wheels to the straight-ahead position. Then install the clock spring to the column switch.
Mating Mark Alignment
Turn the clock spring clockwise fully. Then turn it back approx. 3 and 1/3 turns counterclockwise to align the mating marks.
CAUTION: Ensure that the clock spring's mating marks are properly aligned. If not, the steering wheel may not rotate completely during a turn, or the
flat cable in the clock spring could be damaged. This would prevent normal SRS operation and possibly cause serious injury to the driver.
<C> STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION
1. Before installing the steering wheel, turn the vehicle's front wheels to the straight-ahead position.
