1999-2000 STEERING
Steering Columns - Standard
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Steering column is a collapsible 2-piece design. Columns use shear pins to absorb collision impact. Steering
shaft is connected directly to steering gear with either a flexible coupling or "U" joint. Some models have an air
bag integral with the steering wheel pad.
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Observe the following precautions when servicing Supplemental Restraint System (SRS):
Disable SRS before servicing any SRS or steering column component. Failure to do this could result in
accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR
BAG SYSTEM .
Remove air bag sensor assembly/center air bag sensor and front air bag sensors if repairing the vehicle
requires impacting (shocking) the vehicle.
Replace dropped, cracked, dented or otherwise damaged components.
DO NOT expose front air bag sensors, air bag sensor assembly/center air bag sensor or steering wheel
pad (air bag module) directly to heat or flame.
Information labels are attached to air bag components. Follow all notices on labels.
After work on SRS is completed, check air bag warning light to ensure system is functioning properly.
See appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
Always wear safety glasses when servicing or handling an air bag.
When placing a live air bag on a bench or other surface, always face air bag and trim cover upward, away
from surface. This will reduce motion of module if it is accidentally deployed.
Carry a live air bag module with trim cover (air bag) pointed away from your body to minimize injury in
case of accidental deployment.
If SRS is not fully functional for any reason, vehicle should not be driven until system is repaired and
becomes operational. DO NOT remove bulbs, modules, sensors or other components or in any way
disable system from operating normally. If SRS is not functional, park vehicle until it is repaired and
functions properl
y. NOTE: For models with tilt wheel steering columns, see appropriate STEERING
COLUMNS - TILT WHEEL article.
WARNING:To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and carefully
follow all SERVICE PRECAUTIONS. Deactivate air bag system before
performing any repairs. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG
SYSTEM .
