Steering Wheel Pad

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Toyota Tercel. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Before proceeding, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS . Disable SRS. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM . Remove air bag. See STEERING WHEEL PAD & SPIRAL CABLE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
  2. Install bolts with washers in holes provided in rear of steering wheel pad (number of bolt holes in steering wheel pad varies with model). Tighten bolts by hand until they become difficult to turn. DO NOT  overtighten bolts. Wrap strong wire at least twice around bolts on left and right sides of steering wheel pad. See Fig 1. Ensure no slack is present in wire. If slack is present, or wire is not strong enough, steering wheel pad may become loose due to shock when air bag is deployed.

  4. Connect Deployment Tool (09082-00700) to steering wheel pad connector. Position deployment tool at least 33 feet away from steering wheel pad. Press activation switch to deploy steering wheel pad. Because of heat, wait 30 minutes before handling steering wheel pad.
