Inspection

If the abnormal conditions are found through inspection,
replace the steering column assembly.

Column Capsule

Check capsules on steering column bracket assembly; all
must be securely seated in bracket slots and checked for
any loose conditions when pushed or pulled by hand.

Column Tube

Check for collapse by measuring the distance as shown in
the figure.

Standard distance: 162.2-165.8 mm (6.386-6.528
in)

Column Universal Joint for Tilt Mechanism

Check steering column assembly for any resistance by
rotating the universal joint. If resistance is felt then
replace the steering column assembly.

Sheared Injected Plastic Pin

Check the sheared injected plastic pins for any loose
conditions or damage.

Shaft Length

Check the shaft length from the upper end of the slide joint
to the end of the shaft. If column length is not in
specifications, steering column should be replaced.

Standard length:
291.7 – 295.7 mm (11.484 – 11.642 in)

Shaft Universal Joint (Lower End)

If the resistance is felt when checked by rotate the joint,
replace the steering column assembly.

Shaft Bellows Pipe

Use a straightedge to inspect the shaft bellows pipe for
straightness. Replace if the clearance is more than the
specifications.

Standard: Less than 1mm (0.039 in)

upward and downward.

Installation

1. Pass through the steering column assembly to the

dash panel hole.
Temporary tightening the steering column bolt(cross
beam).

2. Tighten the steering column bolts(dash panel) to the

specified torque.

Torque: 20 N·m (14 lb ft)

3. Tighten the steering column nuts (cross beam) to the

specified torque.

Torque: 17 N·m (12 lb ft)

4. Install the universal joint assembly to the transfer

gear assembly align the setting marks made at
removal.
Then tighten the universal joint bolt.

Torque: 31 N·m (23 lb ft)

5. Install the second steering shaft to the universal joint

assembly, then tighten the universal joint bolt to the
specified torque.

Torque: 31 N·m (23 lb ft)

6. Install lock cylinder assembly.
7. Install shift lock cable (For A/T).
8. Install cushion rubber.
9. Install snap ring.

10. Install combination switch and SRS coil assembly.

After installation of combination switch assembly,
connect the combination switch wiring harness
connector and the SRS 2-way connector located
under the steering column.

11. Turn the SRS coil counter clockwise to full, return

about 3 turns and align the neutral mark.

13. Install steering wheel and align the setting marks

made when removing.

CAUTION: Never apply force to the steering wheel
shaft using a hammer or other impact tools in an
attempt to remove the steering wheel. The steering
shaft is designed as an energy absorbing unit.

14. Tighten the steering wheel fixing nut to the specified

torque.

Torque: 34 N·m (25 lb ft)

15. Support the module and carefully connect the module

connector and horn lead, then install inflator module.

NOTE: Pass the lead wire through the tabs on the plastic
cover (wire protector) of inflator to prevent lead wire from
being pinched.

16. Tighten bolts to specified torque.

Torque: 9 N·m (78 lb in)

17. Install driver knee bolster (reinforcement).
18. Install instrument panel lower cover.
19. Install the engine hood opening lever.
