  2. Repower the SRS. Refer to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Repowering .

    Vehicles with power adjustable steering column 

  3. NOTE: This step is only necessary when installing a new component.

    If a new memory steering column has been installed, use the steering column control switch and set the soft stops as follows.

    1. Move the column rearward until it reaches the end of travel and hold the switch for 2 seconds after the column has reached the end of travel.
    2. Move the column in the same direction until it reaches the end of travel again and hold the switch for 2 seconds after the motor has reached the end of travel. This clears any unintended soft stops.
    3. Move the column forward until it reaches the end of travel and hold the switch for 2 seconds after the motor has reached the end of travel.
    4. Move the column in the same direction until it reaches the end of travel and hold the switch for 2 seconds after the motor has reached the end of travel. This clears any unintended soft stops.
    5. Repeat the sequence moving the column up and down.
