REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION


caution
  • Before removing the steering wheel/air bag module assembly, refer to GROUP 52B - Service Precautions and Air Bag Module Clock Spring .
  • After the installation, perform a calibration for the ASC-ECU to learn the steering wheel sensor neutral point (Refer to GROUP 35C, On-vehicle Service - Steering Wheel Sensor Calibration ).<Vehicles with ASC>
Pre-removal operation
  • Air Bag Module and Steering Wheel Assembly Removal (Refer to ).

  • Bottom Cover Assembly and Side Lower Panel Assembly Removal (Refer to GROUP 52A - Instrument Panel Assembly ).

  • WCM <vehicles with WCM>/Receiver Antenna Module <vehicles with KOS> Removal (Refer to GROUP 54A, Ignition Switch - On-vehicle Service - Ignition Switch ).

 Post-installation operation
  • WCM <vehicles with WCM>/Receiver Antenna Module <vehicles with KOS> Installation (Refer to GROUP 54A, Ignition Switch - On-vehicle Service - Ignition Switch ).

  • Bottom Cover Assembly and Side Lower Panel Assembly Installation (Refer to GROUP 52A - Instrument Panel Assembly ).

  • Air Bag Module and Steering Wheel Assembly Installation (Refer to ).
  • Confirm that the steering wheel is at the straight-ahead position.
  • Steering wheel sensor calibration (Refer to GROUP 35C, On-vehicle Service - Steering Wheel Sensor Calibration ). <Vehicles with ASC>

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

>>A<< STEERING COLUMN SHAFT ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
1.Ensure that the tilt lever is in the lock position, and install the steering column as below.

2.Hand-tighten the mounting bolts in the order of 1, 2, 3, and tighten them in the order of 3, 2, 1 to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Mounting bolt 1: 28 ± 7 N·m
Mounting bolt 2, 3: 12 ± 3 N·m
3.Assemble the steering column assembly to the steering gear.
4.Insert the bolt connecting the steering column assembly with the steering gear into the non-threaded bolt hole.
5.Tighten the mounting bolt 4 to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 20 ± 5 N·m

>>B<< STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CLOCK SPRING COLUMN SWITCH ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

1.
caution If the centre of the clock spring is not correctly aligned, the steering wheel may not be turned fully or the cable inside the clock spring may be broken, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative or operated incorrectly.
Align the mating marks of the clock spring.
<Alignment of mating marks>
(1) Turn the clock spring clockwise fully.
(2) Turn the clock spring counterclockwise approximately three and 3/4 turns to align the mating marks.
(3) Install the clock spring to the column switch.

2.
caution Be sure to align the steering wheel sensor neutral position mark. If the neutral position marks are not aligned, the steering wheel operation may damage the steering wheel sensor.
Align the steering wheel sensor neutral position mark. <Vehicles with ASC>
<Alignment of mating marks>
(1) When checking the neutral position check window of the steering wheel sensor, if an arrow can be seen, turn to the direction of the arrow, and align the neutral position mark as shown in the figure.
(2) Install the steering wheel sensor to the column switch assembly, maintaining the neutral position correctly.
(3) Install the column switch assembly to the vehicle, maintaining the neutral position correctly.
