Steering Wheel Installation
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations and the precautions
and procedures See: Steering Column/Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming/Service and Repair before doing repairs or service.
1. Before installing the steering wheel, make sure the front wheels are aligned straight ahead, then center the cable reel (A). Do this by first rotating
the cable reel clockwise until it stops. Then rotate it counterclockwise about three full turns. The arrow mark (B) on the cable reel label point
should point straight up.
2. Position the two tabs (A) of the turn signal cancelling sleeve (B) as shown. Route the airbag connector through the steering wheel and install the
steering wheel on to the steering column shaft, making sure the steering wheel hub (C) engages the pins (D) of the cable reel and tabs of the turn
signal canceling sleeve. Do not tap on the steering wheel or the steering column shaft when installing the steering wheel.
3. Install the steering wheel nut (A), and tighten it to the specified torque. Connect the cable reel connector. Make sure the wire harness is routed and
fastened properly.
4. Install the driver's airbag, and confirm that the system is operating properly. See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Air Bag/Service and
Repair/Removal and Replacement/Driver's Airbag Replacement
5. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure, See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Service and Repair/Procedures and do these tasks:
-
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II); the SRS indicator should come on for about 6 seconds and then go off.
-
Make sure the horn and the turn signal switches work properly.
-
Make sure the steering wheel switches work properly.
-
Make sure the steering wheel is centered.
-
Do the steering column position memorization. See: Steering Column/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning
-
Do the steering angle neutral position memorization. See: Powertrain Management/Transmission Control Systems/Relays and Modules -
Transmission and Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Differential/Control Unit/Testing and Inspection/SH-AWD Yaw Rate-Lateral/Longitudinal
Acceleration Neutral Position Memorization
