Steering Column Removal and Installation

  1. Install the steering joint cover (A).
  1. Install the steering wheel and the driver's airbag.
  1. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure, and do these tasks:
    • Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) and check that the SRS indicator should come on for about 6 seconds and then go off.
    • Make sure the horn and turn signal switches work properly.
    • Make sure the steering wheel switches work properly.
  1. After installation, do these checks:
    • Check the steering wheel spoke angle. If the steering spoke angles to the right and left are not equal (steering wheel and rack are not centered), correct the engagement of the joint/pinion shaft splines.
    • Set the steering column to the center tilt position, and to the center telescopic position, then do the front toe inspection.
