Removal Procedure
Tools Required
J 42640 Steering Column
Anti-Rotation Pin
Caution: Refer to SIR Caution in the Preface section.
- Disable the SIR system. Refer to
SIR Disabling and Enabling
in SIR.
Notice: The front wheels of the vehicle must be maintained in the straight ahead
position and the steering column must be in the LOCK position before disconnecting
the steering column or intermediate shaft. Failure to follow these procedures
will cause improper alignment of some components during installation and result
in damage to the SIR coil assembly.
- Lock the steering column
through the access hole in the lower trim cover using J 42640
.
Important: A new sensor must come with a pin installed. If pin is not installed,
return and reorder sensor. Do not apply force to the sensor and the bearing
assembly in a sideways direction.
- Remove the steering column from the vehicle. Refer to
Steering Column Replacement
.
- Remove the sensor connector by using a suitable tool in order
to pull the connector down around the right side of the steering column for
accessibility.
- Remove the sensor retainer from the steering shaft.
Important: When reusing the sensor (1) you must install a pin into the sensor
before it is removed from the steering shaft. By not installing a pin into
the sensor it will cause the sensor to lose its centering position and must
be discarded.
Pin diameter must be in the range of 1.0-2.0 mm.
Do not remove the bearing adapter (3).
- If reusing the sensor (1), remove the position sensor by pulling
the sensor straight out from the bearing adapter (3) until the sensor
is almost off the steering shaft (2). Install a pin into the sensor
before removing from the steering shaft (2). Do not remove the pin
until the sensor is re-installed.
- If replacing the sensor (1), remove the sensor by pulling
the sensor straight out from the bearing adapter (3) and off the steering
shaft.
Installation Procedure
Important: Do not apply force to the sensor (1) or the bearing adapter (3)
in a sideways direction.
- If reusing the sensor, with the pin still installed, align the sensor
onto the steering shaft (2) and into the bearing adapter (3).
Important: If installing a new sensor the sensor will come precentered. Do not
remove the pin until installation is complete.
- Install the sensor onto the steering shaft (2) and into the bearing
adapter (3).
- The sensor must be set
to approximately 3.00 mm gap between the sensor and the bearing adapter.
- Install the sensor connector.
- Remove the pin from the sensor.
- Install the sensor retainer onto the steering shaft.
- Install the steering column to the vehicle.
