Removal And Installation: Notes

CAUTION:

Be sure to remove the clock spring from the column switch and center the clock spring to prevent the damage of steering wheel sensor.
If the center of the clock spring is not correctly aligned, the steering wheel may not be turned fully or the cable inside the clock spring may be broken, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative or operated incorrectly.
Before removing the steering wheel/air bag module assembly, refer to SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and AIR BAG MODULE AND CLOCK SPRING .
When the steering wheel sensor is replaced or installed, always carry out calibration to make ASC-ECU learn the neutral point (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CALIBRATION ).
After adjusting the wheel alignment, always carry out calibration of the steering wheel sensor to make ASC-ECU learn the neutral point. (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CALIBRATION .)
