Caution: The new SIR coil assembly will be centered. Improper alignment of the SIR coil assembly may damage the unit, causing an inflatable restraint malfunction.
- Verify the following conditions before centering the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) steering wheel module coil:
| • | The wheels on the vehicle are straight ahead. |
| • | The block tooth and the centering mark (1) of the steering shaft is in the 12 o'clock position. |
- If available, remove the yellow retaining tab (1) from the SIR steering wheel module coil and save the tab for reassembly.
- Hold the SIR steering wheel module coil face up by the casing (2).
| 3.1. | Slowly turn the SIR steering wheel module coil hub (3) clockwise until the coil ribbon stops. |
| 3.2. | Slowly rotate the SIR steering wheel module coil hub (3) counterclockwise 2.5 revolutions until the centering window (4) turns yellow. This indicates the CENTER position. |
Note: If the retaining tab is not available, the use of tape to secure the SIR steering wheel module coil is recommended for installation to the steering column.
- Install the yellow retaining tab (1) to the SIR steering wheel module coil.
- Slide the centered SIR steering wheel module coil onto the steering shaft.
