Precautions/Procedures
Steering-related Precautions
Steering Wheel and Cable Reel Alignment
NOTE: To avoid misalignment of the steering wheel on
reassembly, make sure the wheels are turned straight
ahead before removing the steering wheel.
Rotate the cable reel clockwise until it stops.
Then rotate it counterclockwise (approximately 2
1
/2
turns) until the arrow mark on the cable reel label points
straight up.
Steering Column Removal
CAUTION:
• Before removing the steering column, first disconnect
the connector between the cable reel and the SRS
main harness.
• If the steering column is going to be removed without
dismounting the steering wheel, lock the steering by
turning the ignition key to 0-LOCK position, or remove
the key from the ignition so that the steering wheel
will not turn.
NOTE:
• When the airbag and cable reel are disconnected, and
the battery is reconnected and the ignition switch is
turned ON (II), the SRS unit will store this as an open
in the driver's airbag inflator, and the SRS indicator
light will come on. In such a case, confirm the DTC,
then clear the SRS unit memory.
• For disconnecting the spring-loaded lock type connec-
Do not replace the original steering wheel with any other
design because it will make it impossible to properly
install the airbag (use only genuine Honda replacement
parts).
After reassembly, confirm the wheels are still turned
straight ahead and that the steering wheel spoke angle is
correct. If minor spoke angle adjustment is necessary, do
so only by adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing and
repositioning the steering wheel.
