STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION:
Removal of the steering wheel allows the contact coil to turn
freely but do not turn the contact coil (on the combination
switch) more than allowable number of turns (about two and
a half turns from the center position clockwise or counter-
clockwise respectively), or coil will break.
REMOVAL
1) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module from steering wheel re-
ferring to “DRIVER AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE” earlier in
this section.
2) Remove steering shaft nut.
3) Make alignment marks on steering wheel and shaft for a guide
during reinstallation.
4) Remove steering wheel with special tool.
Special Tool
(A): 09944-36011
CAUTION:
Do not hammer the end of the shaft. Hammering it will
loosen the plastic shear pins which maintain the column
length and impair the collapsible design of the column.
CENTERING CONTACT COIL
1) Check that vehicle’s wheels (front tires) are set at straight-ahead
position.
2) Check that ignition switch is at “LOCK” position.
3) Turn contact coil counterclockwise slowly with a light force till
contact coil will not turn any further.
NOTE:
Contact coil can turn about 5 turns at maximum, that is, if
it is at the center position, can turn about two and a half
turns both clockwise and counterclockwise.
4) From the position where contact coil became unable to turn any
further (it stopped), turn it back clockwise about two and a half
rotations and align center mark with alignment mark.
