INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

• The turn signal lever must be in the neutral position for spiral cable installation.

• Set the spiral cable neutral position by carefully turning the spiral cable clockwise to the end position. Turn the spiral cable counterclockwise 2.5 turns stopping when the locating pin (A) is at the top most position, the triangles (C) are pointing at each other as shown and the clear window (B) appears white.

  

  NOTE:

  If a new part is installed, the neutral position is already set with a stopper in place and should not be adjusted after the stopper clip is removed. Make sure the stopper clip is removed after the spiral cable/steering angle sensor assembly is installed but before the steering wheel is installed.

• During steering wheel installation, make sure the locating pin hole (D) is aligned with the locating pin (A) of the spiral cable.

• Perform the neutral position adjustment for the steering angle sensor. Refer to Description.

CAUTION:

• The spiral cable may snap during steering operation if the spiral cable is installed in an improper position.

• Do not overturn the spiral cable or go beyond the maximum number of turns allowed. This will cause the cable to snap.

• The turn signal lever must be in the neutral position for spiral cable installation.

• Do not apply lubricant to the spiral cable.

• Do not allow oil, grease, detergent or water to come in contact with the spiral cable.

• After installation is completed, check that no system malfunction is detected using CONSULT or the air bag warning lamp.
