CAUTION! 
• TCM and ECM consists of highly precise 
parts, therefore when handling it, be 
careful not to expose to excessive shock.
• When replacing TCM with used one, all  learned contents, which have been stored 
in TCM memory by executing learning 
control, should be initialized after 
replacement.

General Description
Steering Wheel and Column ConstructionS7RS0B6201001
This double tube type steering column has the following three  important features in addition to the steering function:
• The column is energy absorbing, desig ned to compress in a front-end collision.
• The ignition switch and lock are mounted conveniently on this column.
• With the column mounted lock, the ignition and steering op erations can be locked to inhibit theft of the vehicle.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important th at only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used as 
designated, and that they are tightened to the specified torque. When the column assembly is removed from the 
vehicle, special care must be taken in handling it. Use of  a steering wheel puller or a sharp blow on the end of the 
steering shaft, leaning on the assembly, or dropping the a ssembly could shear the plastic shear pins which maintain 
column length and position.
The driver air bag (inflator) module is one of the supplemental restraint (air bag) system components and is mounted 
to the center of the steering wheel. During certain frontal  crashes, the air bag system supplements the restraint of the 
driver’s and passenger’s seat belts by deploying the air b ags. The air bag (inflator) module should be handled with 
care to prevent accidental deployment. When servicing, be  sure to observe “Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of 
Air Bag System in Section 8B”.

prerequisite for installation of steering wheel. 
If steering wheel has 
been installed without 
these 2 Steps, contact coil will break when 
steering wheel is turned.
 
1) Check that vehicle’s front tires are at straight-ahead  position and contact coil is  centered. If contact coil is 
turned after removing steering wheel, center contact 
coil referring to “Centering Contact Coil Cable

Steering Column Removal and InstallationS7RS0B6206006
CAUTION! 
Once the steering column is removed from 
the vehicle, the column is extremely 
susceptible to damage.
• Dropping the column assembly on its end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen 
the plastic shear pins which maintain 
column length.
• Leaning on the column assembly could  cause it to bend or deform.
Any of the damage could impair the column’s 
collapsible design.
Steering column mounting nuts should not 
be loosened with steering shaft joint upper 
side bolt tightened as this could cause 
damage to shaft joint bearing.
 
NOTE
When servicing steering column or any 
column-mounted component, remove 
steering wheel. But when removing steering 
column simply to gain access to instrument 
panel components, leave steering wheel 
installed on steering column.
