Before installing the steering wheel, make sure the front wheels
are pointing straight ahead, then center the cable reel (A). Do this by
first rotating the cable reel clockwise until it stops. Then rotate it
counterclockwise about three full turns. The arrow mark (B) on the cable
reel label should point straight up.
Position the two tabs (A) of the turn signal canceling sleeve (B)
as shown. 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 the steering wheel bolt (A), and tighten it to the
specified torque. Connect the cable reel subharness connector (B). Make
sure the wire harness is routed and fastened properly.
Install the driver's airbag.
Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure, and check these items:
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds, and then goes off.
Make sure the horn and turn signal switches work properly.
Make sure the steering wheel switches work properly.
After installation, check the steering wheel spoke angle. If the
steering spoke angles to the right and left are not equal (steering
wheel is not centered), correct the engagement of the wheel/column shaft
splines.
