STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
WARNING:
The procedures in this section must be followed in the order listed to temporarily disable the air bag
system and prevent false diagnostic codes from setting.
Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag system activation, personal injury or other-
wise unneeded air bag system repairs.
CAUTION:
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they were re-
moved. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for that application. If
the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger) may
be used. Fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread-locking compound, will be called
out. The correct torque value must be used when installing fasteners that require it. If the above proce-
dures are not followed, parts or system damage could result.
