Service and repairs on the steering wheel begin by positioning it in a straight line and then turning off the ignition switch followed by extracting the key. Service the steering wheel by performing the first step of removing the driver
Air Bag module. The technician needs to make markings on two locations of the steering wheel and column shaft for ease of installation but should torque the steering wheel nut to 35 Nm (26 lb-ft) when reinstalling. The shaft should be protected by eliminating hammer hits because a specific puller provides the best method to detach the steering wheel. The installation requires disconnecting the
Clock Spring electrical connector of the steering wheel switches while passing both driver air bag module connectors and harness through the steering wheel. Apply tape around the center rotor of the Clock Spring to stop its rotation while in the outer housing. Ending the installation requires following the repair steps in reverse order by aligning the steering wheel with the reference mark while installing the driver air bag module.
