>>A<< Steering Wheel Sensor Neutral Point Alignment

WARNING: Ensure that the clock spring's mating marks are properly aligned. If not, the steering wheel may not rotate completely during a turn, or the flat cable in the clock spring could be damaged, This would prevent normal SRS operation and possibly cause serious injury to the driver.

Align the mating marks of the clock spring.
<Mating Mark Alignment>
1. Turn the clock spring clockwise fully. Then turn it back approximately 3-3/4 turns counterclockwise to align the mating marks.
2. Then install the clock spring to the column switch.

  CAUTION: Be sure to align the three neutral point marks of the steering wheel sensor at the same time as shown in the illustration. If these mating marks are not aligned correctly, the steering wheel sensor may be damaged.
Align the three neutral point marks of the steering wheel sensor at the same time as shown in the illustration.
<Mating Mark Alignment>
1. If the neutral point mark is not seen when the window for checking the neutral point of the steering wheel sensor is checked, turn it to align the neutral point marks as shown in the illustration.
2. With paying attention not to misalign the neutral position, install the steering wheel sensor to the clock spring and column switch assembly.
  NOTE: A new steering wheel sensor has a pin for preventing the rotation of (fixing) the steering wheel sensor. After installing the sensor to the clock spring and column switch assembly, remove this pin.
3. Install the clock spring and column switch assembly to the vehicle, maintaining the neutral position correctly.
