NOTE: If a new part is installed, the neutral position is already set with a stopper in place and should not be adjusted after the stopper clip is removed. Make sure the stopper clip is removed after the spiral cable/steering angle sensor assembly is installed but before the steering wheel is installed.
During steering wheel installation, make sure the locating pin hole (D) is aligned with the locating pin (A) of the spiral cable.
Perform the neutral position adjustment for the steering angle sensor. Refer to Description .

CAUTION:

The spiral cable may snap during steering operation if the spiral cable is installed in an improper position.
Do not overturn the spiral cable or go beyond the maximum number of turns allowed. This will cause the cable to snap.
The turn signal lever must be in the neutral position for spiral cable installation.
Do not apply lubricant to the spiral cable.
Do not allow oil, grease, detergent or water to come in contact with the spiral cable.
After the work is completed, check that no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning lamp.
If a malfunction is detected by the air bag warning lamp after repair or replacement of the malfunctioning parts, perform the SRS final check. Refer to SRS Final Check .
