5. Check the harness (built into the steering wheel)

and connectors for damage, and check the
terminals for deformation.

6. Check the clock spring connectors and protective

tube for damage, and terminals for deformities.

7. Visually check the case for damage.

WARNING

If the clock spring's mating mark is not
properly aligned, the steering wheel may not
be completely rotational during a turn, or the
flat cable within the clock spring may be
severed, obstructing normal operation of the
SRS and possibly leading to serious injury to
the vehicle's driver or front passenger.

8. Align the mating marks of the clock spring and,

after turning the vehicle's front wheels to
straight-ahead position, install the clock spring to
the column switch.
Mating Marks Alignment;

Turn the clock spring clockwise fully. Then turn it
back approximately 3 3/4 turns counterclockwise
to align the mating marks.

could result in serious injury or death to the
vehicle's driver or front passenger.

11.Check the steering wheel for excessive free play.
12.REPLACE ANY VISUALLY INSPECTED PART IF

IT FAILS THAT INSPECTION (Refer to
