Steering Wheel Installation
CAUTION: When installing the steering wheel, ensure that the harness of the clock spring does not become caught or tangled.
1. Before installing the steering wheel, turn the vehicle's front wheels to the straight-ahead position and align the mating marks of the clock spring.
2. After securing the steering wheel, turn the steering wheel all the way in both directions to confirm that the steering wheel rotation is normal.
Clock Spring Installation
WARNING: 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.
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 approximately 3 4/5 turns counterclockwise to align the mating marks.
