Steering Roll Connector: Installation
WARNING:
The following service operations include the works which may affect the SRS airbag system. Before starting work, always be sure to confirm the precautions related to the SRS airbag system. (Refer to
SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
)
- Installation of the steering roll connector
- Installation of the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor)CAUTION:
- Do not replace the steering roll connector when the ignition switch is turned to ON and the battery ground terminal is connected.
- Do not rotate the steering roll connector when the ignition switch is turned to ON and the battery ground terminal is connected.
- When the steering sensor is rotated for its operation check (noise check, diagnosis, etc.), make sure to confirm the vehicle is in the straight-ahead position, then perform the check with the steering wheel installed.
NOTE: When the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) is to be replaced with a new one, do not pull off the lock pin of the steering roll connector at this point.- Put the turn signal switch in the neutral position.CAUTION: Make sure to put the turn signal switch in the neutral position. Otherwise, the pin of this switch may be broken.
- Engage 3 claws to install the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor).
- Connect each connector to the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor).
- Installation of the steering column cover UPR (Refer to INSTALLATION , Step 5 )
- Installation of the steering column cover LWR (Refer to INSTALLATION , Step 6 )
- Installation of the steering column cover support (with smart entry) (Refer to INSTALLATION , Step 7 )
- Confirmation of front tires in the straight-ahead position
- Centering adjustment of the steering roll connectorCAUTION: Do not rotate the steering roll connector when the ignition switch is turned to ON and the battery ground terminal is connected.
- If the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) is replaced with a new one, remove the lock pin of the steering roll connector.
- Check that the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
- Check that the battery ground terminal is disconnected.CAUTION: After disconnecting the battery ground terminal, do not start the work before waiting for 60 seconds.
- Confirm that the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) is in its central position.NOTE: When the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) is in its central position, the alignment marks are aligned and the colored part is visible as shown in the figure.
- If the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) is not in its central position, perform the centering adjustment of the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor).CAUTION:
- Do not rotate the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) when the ignition switch is turned to ON and the battery is connected.
- Rotate the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) softly without applying force, to prevent the connector internal wire from being broken.
- Do not rotate the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) holding the connector and the wiring of the airbag.
- Do not rotate the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) to more than the specified number of turns. It may break the roll connector internal wire.
- Rotate slowly the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) counterclockwise until it is locked.
- Rotate the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) clockwise to 2.5 turns from the lock position, until the alignment marks are aligned and the colored part becomes visible.
NOTE:- The steering roll connector can be rotated to approximately 5 turns at the maximum.
- If the steering connector can not be centered, it is possible that the connector internal wire is broken. In this case, replace the steering roll connector and the steering sensor with new ones.
