Centering Contact Coil Cable AssemblyS7RS0B6206004
1) Check that vehicle’s wheels (front tires) are set at straight-ahead position.
2) Check that ignition swit ch is at LOCK position.
3) Turn contact coil counterclockwise slowly with a light force till contact coil will not turn any further.
NOTE
Contact coil can turn about 5 turns at the
maximum, that is, if it is at the center
position, can turn about two and a half turns
both clockwise and counterclockwise.

4) From the position where contact coil became unable to turn any further (it stopped), turn it back clockwise
about two and a half rotations and align center mark
with alignment mark (1).
Contact Coil Cable Assembly InspectionS7RS0B6206005
Refer to “Contact Coil Cable and Its Circuit Check in
Section 8B”.

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.

Removal
WARNING!
Never rest a steering column assembly on
the steering wheel with the air bag (inflator)
module face down and column vertical.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.

1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disable air bag system. Re fer to “Disabling Air Bag
System in Section 8B”.
3) Remove steering wheel and contact coil cable assembly referring to “S teering Wheel Removal and
Installation” and “Contact Coil Cable Assembly
Removal and Installation”.
4) Detach lighting switch and wiper switch from steering column.
5) Remove immobilizer cont rol module from steering
column, referring to “Immo bilizer Control Module
(ICM) Removal and Installation in Section 10C”.
6) Remove steering column hole cover.
7) Remove steering joint cover.
8) Make alignment marks (4) on lower shaft (1) and shaft joint of steering column (2) and lower shaft (1)
and pinion shaft (3) for a guide during reinstallation.
9) Remove lower shaf t joint bolts (5).
10) Remove steering lower shaft (1).
11) Remove steering column mounting nuts (1).
