Caution: This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause the following conditions:
• Air bag deployment • Personal injury • Unnecessary SRS system repairs • Refer to SRS Component Views in order to determine if you are
performing service on or near the SRS components or the SRS wiring. • If you are performing service on or near the SRS components or
the SRS wiring, disable the SRS system. Refer to Disabling the SRS System
in SRS.
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.
Important:
• Verify that the SRS steering wheel module coil is centered. • The SRS steering wheel module coil becomes uncentered under the
following conditions: - The steering column is separated from the steering gear and allowed
to rotate. - The centering spring is pushed down, letting the hub rotate while
the coil is removed from the steering column. • If the SRS steering wheel module coil becomes uncentered, refer
to the following procedures: - For the standard column, refer to
Inflatable Restraint Coil Centering - Off Vehicle
in Steering
Wheel and Column - Standard. - For the tilt column, refer to
Inflatable Restraint Coil Centering - Off Vehicle
in Steering Wheel and Column
- Tilt.
Notice: Gently pull on the lower coil assembly wire in order to remove any wire kinks inside of the column assembly. Verify 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.
