    CAUTION:

    The new SIR coil assembly will be centered. Improper alignment of the SIR coil assembly may damage the unit, causing an inflatable restraint malfunction.

    • The wheels on the vehicle are straight ahead.
    • The centering mark (1) of the steering shaft is in the 6 o'clock position.
  2. Turn the lobe of the coil clockwise until the coil ribbon stops. Do not force.
  3. Turn the lobe of the coil counterclockwise approximately 3 turns to the neutral position.
