Caution: This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause the following conditions:
• Air bag deployment • Personal injury • Unnecessary SIR system repairs • Refer to SIR Component Views in order to determine if you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring. • If you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, disable the SIR system. Refer to Disabling the SIR System.
Important:
• Ensure that the coil assembly is centered. • The coil assembly becomes uncentered under the following conditions: - The steering column is seperated from the steering gear and allowed
to rotate. - The centering spring is pushed down allowing the hub to rotate
while the coil is removed from the steering column. - In the event that this occurs, refer to Inflatable Restraint Coil Centering
in Steering Wheel and Column.

• | The projections on the outer ring. |
Important: Gently pull on the lower coil assembly wire in order to remove any wire kinks inside of the column assembly. Ensure that there are no kinks or bends in the SRS coil assembly wire. If a kink or a bend is present, interference may occur with the shaft lock mechanism. Turning the steering wheel may cut or damage the wire.
