Airbag Steering Wheel Module Coil Centering
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 GMC Acadia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the steering wheel airbag coil. If the yellow lock pin (1) is present, the uplead post (2) is at the 12 o'clock position and the loop (u-turn) appears in the centering window (3) then the coil is already in the centered position and no further action is required.
- If the steering wheel airbag coil needs to be centered, perform the following preliminary steps:
- Ensure the wheels on the vehicle are straight ahead.
- Ensure the block tooth (1) on the steering shaft is in the 6 o'clock position.
- To center the steering wheel airbag coil, perform the following steps:
- Hold the coil with the face up.
- Slowly rotate the coil hub clockwise until the coil ribbon stops.
- Slowly rotate the coil hub counterclockwise approximately 2.5 turns until the uplead post (1) is at the 12 o'clock position.
- View the centering window (2) and ensure the loop (u-turn) is visible. If the loop is visible then the coil is in the center position.
- While holding the coil hub in the center position, align the coil with the steering column components and slide the coil onto the steering shaft.
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.
