NOTE:
Before installing the headrest holder, check its orientation (front/
rear and right/left).
REMOVAL OF SEATBACK ASSEMBLY
1. After completing the steps 1 and 2 of "Seatback Trim and Pad", remove the side air bag harness connec-
tor from the seat cushion.
2. Remove the mounting bolts (2 for each side) and seatback assembly.
INSTALLATION OF SEATBACK ASSEMBLY

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
SEAT CUSHION TRIM AND PAD (DRIVER) OR SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY (PASSENGER)
CAUTION:

Front passenger seat is equipped with an Occupant Classification System sensor and control
module. Do not disassemble front passenger seat cushion assembly or remove the trim as this
will affect the Occupant Classification System calibration.

Always replace passenger seat cushion as an assembly.

When removed, the passenger seat cushion must always be placed pan side UP to prevent dam-
age.

During installation, the wire harness clips must be reinstalled in the holes they were originally in.
Do not add clips.

The Occupant Classification System control module can only be replaced as part of the seat cush-
ion assembly.
NOTE:
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision the seat must be inspected for damage. Refer to SRS-61, "
COL-
LISION DIAGNOSIS" .
1. Remove the power seat switch knobs, power seat switch
escutcheon and lumbar switch bezel.
2. Remove the power seat and power lumbar switches.

6. Remove wiper washer switch connector, then pinch the tabs at
wiper and washer switch base and slide switch away from steer-
ing column to remove.
7. While pressing tabs, pull lighting and turn signal switch toward
driver door and disconnect from base.
8. Remove the screws, release the clip, and remove the spiral
cable.
CAUTION:

Do not disassemble spiral cable.

Do not apply lubricant to the spiral cable.
9. Remove the spiral cable connectors.
CAUTION:
With the steering linkage disconnected, the spiral cable may snap by turning the steering wheel
beyond the limited number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclockwise about 2.5
turns from the neutral position.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Align spiral cable correctly when installing steering wheel. Make
sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position. The neutral
position is detected by turning left 2.6 revolutions from the right
end position and ending with the knob at the top.

If equipped with VDC, refer to BRC-62, "Adjustment of Steering
Angle Sensor Neutral Position" for steering angle sensor adjust-
ment.

After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to make sure
no malfunction is detected. Refer to SRS-20, "
SRS Operation
Check" .
