Removal And Installation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Before removing the steering wheel assembly and driver's air bag module, always refer to SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and AIR BAG MODULE AND CLOCK SPRING . Also, position the front wheels in a straight ahead direction. If you fail to do this, clock spring for SRS may get damage, making the SRS (air bag) inoperative, and it may cause a serious injury to the driver.
^* : Indicates the bolts and nuts with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, ensure there is no damage, clean dust and soiling from bearing and thread surfaces, and tighten them to the specified torque.
After installation, perform a calibration for the ASC-ECU to learn the steering wheel sensor neutral point. (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CALIBRATION ).
