11. Remove the cable reel from the column.
CAUTION:
• Before installing the steering wheel, the front
wheels should be aligned straight ahead.
• Be sure to install the harness wires so that they
are not pinched or interfering with other vehicle
parts.
• After reassembly, confirm that the wheels are
still turned straight ahead and that the steering
wheel spoke angle is correct (road test). If minor
spoke angle adjustment is necessary, do so only
by adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing and
repositioning the steering wheel.
12. Set the cancel sleeve so that the projections are
aligned vertically.
13. Carefully install the cable reel on the steering col-
umn shaft. Then connect the 4P connector to the
cable reel, and connect the 2P connector to the SRS
main harness, then attach the cable reel 2P connec-
tor to the connector holder.
