Steering Lock Replacement
SRS components are located in this area. Review theSRS component locations. precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section (24) before performing repairs or ser-vtce.
Remove:
LMake sure you have the anti-theft code for theradio, then wire down the frequencies for theradio's preset buttons ('99 - 00 models).
Disconnect the battery negative cable.
Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover andknee bolster (see section 20).
Disconnect the 5P connector from the under-dash
fuse/relay box and the 7P connector from the mainwire harness (see previous page).
Remove the steering column covers, then removethe mounting bolts and nuts from the steering col-umn (see section l7).
Lower the steering column assembly,
Center-punch each of the two shear bolts, then drilltheir heads off with a 5 mm (3/16 in) dritt bit.
CAUTION: Do not damago the steering lock body.
Remove the shear bolts and the steering lock assem,oty.

Installation:
l. Install the new steering lock assembly without thekey insened.
Loosely tighten the new shear bolts-
Insert the ignition key, and check for proper opera-tion of the steering wheel lock and that the ignitionkey turns freely.
Tighten the shear bolts untilthe hex heads twist off.

Battery
Test
@l. Battery lluid lelectrolytel contalns sulfuric acid. lt may cause severe burns it it gets on your skin ol in your eyes Wear
protective clothing and a face shield.
- It eleqtlolyte gets on your skin or clothes, rinse it off with watel immediately
- lf electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush it out by splashing water in your eyes for at least 15 minutes; call a physician
immediately.
. A battery gives off hydrogen gas. lf ignited, the hydrogen will explode and could crack the battery case and splatter
acid on you. Keep sparks, flames, and Gigarettes away from the battery'
o Overchaiging will raise the temperature oI the electrolyte. This may force electrolyte to spray out ot ths battery vents'
Follow the charger manufacturel's instrustions, and chalge the battery at a propcr rate.
Use either a JCI or Bear ARBST tester. and follow the manufacturer's procedures. lf you don't have one of these comput-
erized testers, follow this conventional test procedure:
ToqetaccurateresuIts,thetemperatureoftheeIectro|ytemustbebetweenT0"F(21.c)and100"F(38.c}'
lf the case is cracked or the posts are loose, replace
the battery.
lf rhe indicator shows low electrolyte, add distilled
water if Possible.

Starting System
Starter Replacement
1.Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the
radio, then write down the frequencies for the
radio's preset buttons ('99 - 00 models).
Disconnect the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the starter cable from the B terminal on
the solenoid, then disconnect the BLK trHT wire
from the S terminal.

Starter Reassembly
'1. Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, then
position the brush about halfway out of its holder.
and release the spring to hold it there.
Install the armature in the housing. Next, pry back
each brush spring again, and push the brush down
until it seats against the commutator, then release
the spring against the end of the brush.

-lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it it necessary (see
section 'l '1 ).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and BLK
wires) from the connector holder located under the
dash on the front passenger side, then connect the
SCS service connector (T/N 07PAZ - 0010'100) to it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm with
no load {A,/T in E or E. M/T in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. 1 ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights. blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

Loosen the distributor mounting bolts. and turn the
distributor ignition (Dl) housing counterclockwise to
advance the timing, or clockwise to retard the tim-
ing.

Disconnect the 7P connector from the main w're
harness.
3. Check Ior continuity between the terminals in each
kev oosition according to the table'
4. Check that the key cannot be removed with power
and ground connected to the No. 7 and No 6 termi-
nals
. lf the key cannot be removed. the key interlock
solenoid is OK.
. lf the key can be removed, replace the steering
