Installation Procedure

Notice: Ensure all fasteners are securely seated before applying needed torque. Failure to do so may result in component damage or malfunctioning of steering column.

1. Install the coil assembly (1). Ensure that the coil assembly is centered.

Important:
^ Assemble the pre-centered coil assembly to the steering column. Remove the centering tab. Discard the tab.
^ The coil assembly becomes un-centered under the following conditions:
- The steering column is separated from the steering gear and allowed to rotate.
- The centering spring is pushed down, letting the hub rotate while the coil is removed from the steering column. In the event this occurs, refer to Inflatable Restraint Coil Centering - Off Vehicle in Steering.
2. Install the coil assembly using the following components for alignment:
^ The horn tower on the canceling cam assembly inner ring.
^ The projections on the outer ring.
3. Install the coil assembly retaining ring (2). Ensure that the ring is firmly seated in the groove on the shaft.

Important: Gently pull on the lower coil assembly wire in order to remove any wire kinks inside of the column assembly. Ensure that there are NO kinks or bends in the SIR coil assembly wire. If a kink or bend is present, interference may occur with the shaft lock mechanism. Turning the steering wheel may cut or damage the wire.

4. Route the SIR coil wiring harness. Install new plastic zip ties.
5. Install the coil assembly retaining clip (3).
6. Install the multi-function switch lever assembly and the bolt.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.

^ The upper steering column cover.
^ The lower steering column cover Snap the column covers together.
Install the 3 lower steering column cover screws.
