Removal And Installation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Be sure to remove the clock spring from the column switch and center the clock spring to prevent the damage of steering wheel sensor.
If the center of the clock spring is not correctly aligned, the steering wheel may not be turned fully or the cable inside the clock spring may be broken, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative or operated incorrectly.
Before removing the steering wheel/air bag module assembly, refer to SERVICE PRECAUTIONS , DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE AND CLOCK SPRING < EXCEPT RALLIART > and DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE AND CLOCK SPRING < RALLIART > .
When the steering wheel sensor is replaced or reinstalled, always carry out calibration to make ASC-ECU learn the neutral point (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CALIBRATION ).
