1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SIR.
2. Remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Replacement in SIR.
3. Remove the steering wheel. Refer to Steering Wheel Replacement
4. Remove the steering wheel controls wire harness from the retainers in the aluminum insert and plastic back shroud.



5. Remove the back shroud screws and the back shroud on the back of the steering wheel.



6. Carefully push on the back of the steering wheel radio control switch through the access opening in the back of the steering wheel switch pocket.
7. Disconnect the electrical connector from the back of the steering wheel radio control switch.
8. Remove the radio control switch from the steering wheel.

1. Position the radio control switch to the steering wheel. Route the radio control wire harness through the access opening in the back of the steering wheel switch pocket.
2. Connect the electrical connector to the back of the steering wheel radio control switch.
3. Carefully install the radio control switch into the steering wheel switch pocket.

Important: The steering wheel switch wiring harness must be kept below the white insulators on the back of the steering wheel when installing the plastic back shroud. Do not pinch the wire harness between the steering wheel urethane and the plastic back shroud.

4. Install the plastic back shroud to the back of the steering wheel with the shroud screws.
5. Install the radio controls wiring harness to the retainers in the steering wheel insert and back shroud. Verify that the wiring is not routed underneath any of the four SIR module mounting holes in the steering wheel.




Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

6. Install the shroud screws and the shroud on the back of the steering wheel.

Tighten
Tighten the screws to 2 N·m (18 lb in).

7. Install the steering wheel. Refer to Steering Wheel Replacement .
8. Install the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Replacement in SIR.
9. Enable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SIR.
