Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 3C-2 STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
General Description
This double tube type steering column has the following three important features in addition to the steering func-
tion:
The column is energy absorbing, designed 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 operations can be locked to inhibit theft of the vehi-
cle.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important that 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 other than the one recommended in this manual or a sharp blow on the end of the steering
shaft, leaning on the assembly, or dropping the assembly could shear the plastic shear pins which maintain col-
umn 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 bags.
The air bag (inflator) module should be handled with care to prevent accidental deployment. When servicing, be
sure to observe all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS in this section and “Service Precautions” in Section 10B.

Drive Air Bag (Inflator) Module (For Vehicle
with Air Bag System)
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative battery cable at battery terminal.
2) Disable air bag system. Refer to “Disabling Air Bag System”
in Section 10B.
3) Remove steering wheel side cap (1) of left side.
4) Loosen 2 bolts (2) mounting driver air bag (inflator) module
till it turns freely, pull them out and fix them to bolt clamps (3).
5) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module (1) from steering
wheel.
6) Disconnect yellow connector (2) in order a) – b) as shown.
INSPECTION
WARNING:
When handling an air bag (inflator) module, be sure to
read “Service Precautions” given earlier in this section
and observe each instruction. Failure to follow them
could cause a damage to the air bag (inflator) module or
result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Never disassemble driver air bag (inflator) module or
measure its resistance. Otherwise, personal injury may
result.
CAUTION:
If air bag (inflator) module was dropped from a height of
90 cm (3 ft) or more, it should be replaced.

Check air bag (inflator) module visually and if any of the following
is found, replace it with a new one.
Air bag being deployed
Trim cover (1) (pad surface) being cracked
Wire harness (3) or connector being damaged
Air bag (inflator) module being damaged or having been
exposed to strong impact (dropped)
INSTALLATION
1) Check that horn wire is connected to horn terminal securely.
2) Connect yellow connector (1) of driver air bag (inflator) mod-
ule (3) pushing connector till it is locked.
3) Install driver air bag (inflator) module to steering wheel, tak-
ing care so that no part of wire harness is caught between
them.
4) Make sure that clearance between module and steering
wheel is uniform all the way.
5) Tighten driver air bag (inflator) module mounting bolts (1) to
specified torque.

CAUTION:
For vehicle with air bag system
Removal of the steering wheel allows the contact coil to
turn freely but do not turn the contact coil (on the combi-
nation switch) more than allowable number of turns
(about two and a half turns from the center position
clockwise or counterclockwise respectively), or coil will
break.
