The process of extracting and installing the inflatable restraint air bag clock spring begins with disabling the sir system and positioning the
Steering Column lock and straight-faced wheel movement to safeguard the sir coil assembly. Apply the Steering Column anti rotation pin (J 42640) to lock down the Steering Column. Begin by separating the
Steering Wheel from its shaft before drawing the tilt lever straight forward for models with this option. The procedure starts by breaking off 2 torx(R) head screws from the lower trim cover and the subsequent removal of that cover before using the same tool to split off 2 torx(R) head screws from the upper trim cover for its subsequent removal. The installation process requires disconnecting the wire harness assembly from its base at the column after unfastening the retaining ring and removing the wire harness straps from the column wire harness. Remove the sir coil and wire harness assembly and keep the old sir coil for replacement if necessary. Align the new sir coil assembly with the horn tower on the turn signal cancel cam assembly before seating the retaining ring into the groove on the
Steering Shaft assembly. Beyond taking away its centering tab, connect the new sir coil's wire harness assembly to the column frame by wiring around it through secure straps. Install the upper trim cover first with the 2 torx(R) head screws while tightening them to 1.5 n.m (13 lb in). Then install the lower trim cover with the 2 torx(R) head screws while confirming proper tab engagement. Finally reinstall the tilt lever if needed while you attach the Steering Wheel to the Steering Shaft and enable the sir system.
