Removal And Installation: Notes

CAUTION:

Before removing the steering wheel and driver's airbag module, refer to SERVICE PRECAUTIONS . Position the front wheels in a straight ahead direction. If you fail to do this, the clock spring for SRS may be damaged, making the SRS (air bag) inoperable which may cause serious injury to the driver.
The bolts marked with * are coated with the friction coefficient stabilizer. When removed these parts, make sure that they are free of damage, remove any dust and dirt on the bearing surfaces and the threads, and tighten 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 ) < Vehicles with ASC >.
