Replacement
1. | Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery and then wait for at least 30 seconds.
2. | Turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels can face straight ahead.
3. | Rmove the airbag module. 3-a. Loosen the bolts (A). 3-b. Disconnet the horn connecter.
4. | Loosen the lock nut (A), disconnect the connector (B) and then remove the steering wheel by using SST(09561-11001).
Tightening torque : 39.2 ~ 49.0N.m(4.0 ~ 5.0kgf.m, 28.9 ~ 36.2lb-ft)
Do not hammer on the steering wheel to remove it; it may damage the steering column.
5. | Loosen the screw and then remove the steering column upper (A) and lower shroud (B).
6. | Disconnect the connector and then remove the clock spring (A).
• When assembling set the center position by setting the marks between the clock spring and the cover into line. Make an array the mark (▶◀) by turning the clock spring clockwise to the stop and then 2.0 revolutions counterclockwise.
7. | Remove the multifunction switches (A). 7-a. Disconnet the connector. 7-b. Loosen the screw.
8. | Remove the crash pad side cover and lower crash panel (A).
9. | Loosen the bolt (A) and then disconnect the universal joint assembly from the pinion of the steering gear box.
Tightening torque : 32.4 ~ 37.3N.m(3.3 ~ 3.8kgf.m, 23.9 ~ 27.5lb-ft)
• | Lock the steering wheel in the straight ahead position to prevent the damage of the clock spring inner cable when you handle the steering wheel.
• | Must be replaced with new bolts when assembling. (SEAL-LOCK has been processed) SEAL-LOCK Specifications: MS721-39 "TYPE-D" Product: ND industries 1193S
10. | Disconnect all connectors connected the steering column & EPS unit assembly.
11. | Remove the steering column & EPS unit assembly by loosening the mounting bolt (B) and nuts (A).
Tightening torque : Nut : 12.7 ~ 17.7N.m(1.3 ~ 1.8kgf.m, 9.4 ~ 13.0lb-ft) Bolt : 44.1 ~ 49.0N.m(4.5 ~ 5.0kgf.m, 32.5 ~ 36.2lb-ft)
12. | Installation is the reverse of the removal.
You must be EPS type recognition and ASP calibration when after mounting. (Refer to ST group - E.P.S/repair procedures)
Disassembly
Key lock assembly
1. | Make a groove on the head of special bolts (A) by a punch.
2. | Loosen the special bolt using a screw driver and then remove the key lock assembly from the steering column assembly.
3. | Reassembly is the reverse of the disassembly.
Universal joint assembly
1. | Loosen the bolt (A) and then disconnect the universal joint assembly from the steering column assembly.
Tightening torque : 53.9 ~ 63.7N.m(5.5 ~ 6.5kgf.m, 39.8 ~ 47.0lb-ft)
2. | Reassembly is the reverse of the disassembly.
Inspection
1. | Check the steering column for damage and deformation.
2. | Check the steering column for damage and deformation.
3. | Check the join bearing for damage and wear.
4. | Check the tilt bracket for damage and cracks.
5. | Check the key lock assembly for proper operation and replace it if necessary.
