- Before installing the steering wheel, align the front wheels straight ahead.
- If not already done, disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait at least 3 minutes.
- Set the turn signal canceling sleeve (A) so that the projections (B) are aligned vertically.
- Carefully install the cable reel (A) on the steering column shaft. Then connect 20P connector (B) to the cable reel, and connect the 4P connector (C) to the dashboard wire harness 4P connector (D).
- Install the steering column covers.
- If necessary, center the cable reel (new replacement cable reels come centered). Do this by first rotating the cable reel clockwise until it stops. Then rotate it counterclockwise (about three turns) until the arrow mark (A) on the cable reel label points straight up.
- Position the two tabs (A) of the turn signal canceling sleeve (B) as shown below, and install the steering wheel on to the steering column shaft, making sure the steering wheel hub (C) engages the pins (D) of the cable reel and tabs of the turn signal canceling sleeve. Do not tap on the steering wheel or steering column shaft when installing the steering wheel.
- Install and torque a new steering wheel bolt (A), then reconnect the connectors.
- Install the driver's airbag (see INSTALLATION ).
- Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure (see BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ).
- Connect the HDS and clear any DTCs.
- After installing the cable reel, confirm proper system operation:
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II); the SRS indicator should come on for about 6 seconds and then go off.
- After the SRS indicator has turned off, turn the steering wheel fully left and right to confirm the SRS indicator does not come on.
- Make sure the horn works.
- Make sure the cruise control buttons work.
- Make sure the steering wheel audio controls work.
- Make sure the SEL/RESET buttons works.
- Make sure there are no DTCs.
