INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Check that the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is center position.
OK:
The connector is at the top.
The matchmarks are aligned.
The colored roller or the top of the flat cable U-turn can be checked from the check window.

*c | Matchmark | - | - |
(b) If the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is not centered, center it.
NOTICE:
Failure to observe the following precautions may result in damage to the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly.
*a | Interlock |
Counterclockwise |
(1) While pushing on the interlock indicated in the illustration. Make sure to rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly counterclockwise slowly by hand until it stops.
NOTICE:
Make sure to rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly counterclockwise. If rotated clockwise, it may be damaged or centering may no longer be possible.
HINT:
The interlock operates at the top and bottom of the connector.
(2) If the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly stops rotating and the connector has moved past the bottom, return the connector to the bottom as shown in the illustration. | |
*a | Interlock |
Clockwise |
(3) While pushing on the interlock, rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly clockwise approximately 2.5 times to move the connector from the bottom to the top.
NOTICE:
If the connector is rotated clockwise from the bottom 5 times or more, the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly may be damaged.
HINT:
The interlock operates at the top and bottom of the connector.
(4) Check that the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is center position.
OK:
The connector is at the top.
The matchmarks are aligned.
The colored roller or the top of the flat cable U-turn can be checked from the check window.

NOTICE:
If the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly cannot be centered, it is possible that the spiral cable sub-assembly is broken. Replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one.
2. INSTALL STEERING SENSOR
(a) Align the guides and engage the claws to install the steering sensor to the spiral cable sub-assembly. NOTICE:
|
|
(b) Remove the lock pin from the steering sensor.
3. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD
4. INSTALL SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
(a) Check that the ignition switch is off.
(b) Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
CAUTION:
(c) Check that the front wheels are facing straight ahead.
(d) Set the turn signal switch to the neutral position.
NOTICE:
If it is not in the neutral position, the turn signal switch cancel ratchet may snap.
(e) Engage the claw and clips to install the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly. | |
(f) Connect each connector.
NOTICE:
When connecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 600 miles (1,000 km) may add to the performance, economy, and life of the vehicle.
Do not race the engine. Do not maintain one constant speed, either slow or fast, for a long period of time. Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or high engine rpm for extended periods of time. Avoid unnecessary hard stops. Avoid full-throttle starts.
