Clockspring

To replace the air bag clock spring, it must first disable the sir system. Finalize the removal of the air bag clock spring along with the steering wheel nut by keeping track of alignment mark on the Steering Shaft as well as the steering wheel. Pull out the tilt lever and remove the tilt lever assembly with the steering wheel. Next, remove two pan head tapping screws from lower shroud and take off the lower shroud. Take off one torx(R) head screw from the upper shroud, and remove the upper shroud from the assembly. Pull the wire harness strap from the steering wheel column wire harness, next to remove the retaining ring and the air bag clock spring from the Steering Shaft. In case of installation, be sure that the wheels are positioned straight and center the block tooth and centering mark on the race and upper shaft assembly at the 12 'o clock position. A new sir coil assembly will be pre-centered, therefore, check the centering. Mount sir coil assembly in the horn tower on the turn signal cancel cam assembly, apply wave washer to upper shaft assembly, slide the coil assembly into the race and upper shaft assembly (discarding the centering tab), apply the retaining ring, and attach the upper shroud with torx(R) head screw to 1.5 n.m (13 lb in), the lower shroud with two pan head tapping screws tightened to 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). Position and slide in the tilt lever to the steering column until they lock, thread the wiring through the steering wheel, align the Steering Shaft so that the steering ring is with the mark on the Steering Shaft, and install the steering nut-tightening to 41 n.m (30 lb ft). Connect the wiring to sir module, install the air bag clock spring, and enable the sir system.

To replace the air bag clock spring, first, disable the sir system, and take out the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module. Remove the Steering Wheel nut, remembering its alignment on the Steering Shaft and the Steering Wheel. Take out the Steering Wheel, grab hold of and pull out the tilt lever, and then remove the tilt lever assembly. Disconnect two pan head tapping screws from the lower shroud and then disconnect the lower shroud itself. Now, unscrew one torx(R) head screw from the upper shroud and remove the upper shroud. Detach the wire harness straps from the Steering Wheel column wire harness, remove the retaining ring, and remove the air bag clock spring from the Steering Shaft. For the installation, install the wheels straight ahead; do not install the block tooth and the upper shaft assembly centering mark at the 12 o'clock mark on them. A new sir coil assembly will be pre-centered so make sure it is centered. Position the sir coil assembly to horn tower of turn signal cancel cam assembly, use the wave washer to upper shaft assembly and slide coil assembly onto race and upper shaft assembly. Take off and remove the centering tab, and then install the retaining ring. Mount the upper shroud using one torx (R) head screw to 1.5 n.m (13 lb in) before the lower shroud is fastened by two pan head tapping screws to 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). Line up and slide the tilt lever into the front of the steering column until it locks, run the wiring through the top of the Steering Wheel, and then align the Steering Wheel up with the marking on the Steering Shaft, then install the nut for the Steering Wheel, tighten it to 41 n.m (30 lb ft). Finally, connect the wiring to the sr module, then install the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module, then turn the sir system on.

Pull the tilt lever straight out and remove the tilt lever assembly.

Verify again that the wheels are straight and the Steering Column Anti Rotation Pin (J 42640) is in place or the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
