Before you restore power to the vehicle keep both the front tires and steering wheel in a direct alignment with the front wheels facing forward. The service process requires removal of the steering wheel cover lower pieces No. 2 and No. 3 together with the steering pad and steering wheel assembly before proceeding with removal of the steering lower column cover and steering column cover.

To mount the signal sensor fit its locating pins then engage the claws before placing the sensor onto the spiral cable. Position the spiral cable sub-assembly with steering angle sensor before installing both steering column cover and steering lower column cover. The spiral cable needs to be adjusted before installing the steering wheel assembly and evaluating the steering wheel center point before applying the steering pad.
