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 pointing 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 should
point straight up.
2. Position the two tabs (A) of the turn signal canceling sleeve (B) as shown. 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 the tabs of the turn signal canceling sleeve. Do not tap on the steering wheel
or steering column shaft when installing the steering wheel.
3. Install the steering wheel bolt (A), and tighten it to the specified torque. Connect the cable reel subharness connector (B). Make sure the wire
harness is routed and fastened properly.
4. Install the driver's airbag. See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Air Bag/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Driver's Airbag

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), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode, and check that the SRS indicator comes on for
about 6 seconds and then goes off.
-
Make sure the horn and turn signal switches work properly.
-
Make sure the steering wheel switches work properly.
6. After installation, do these checks:
-
Check the steering wheel spoke angle. If the steering spoke angles to the right and left are not equal (steering wheel is not centered), correct the
engagement of the wheel/column shaft splines.
-
