Remove or Disconnect

1. Disable SIR system.
2. Loosen bolts/screws (3) from back of steering wheel assembly (2) using number 30 TORX driver (or equivalent) until inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly (1) can be released from steering wheel assembly (2).
3. Inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly (1) from steering wheel assembly (2).

CAUTION: When carrying a live inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly, make sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. Never carry the inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly by the wires or electrical connector on the underside of it. In case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury. When placing a live inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover up, away from the surface. Never rest a steering column assembly on the steering wheel assembly with the inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly face down and steering column assembly vertical. This is necessary so to that a free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment.

4. SIR coil assembly electrical connector and retainer (32) from inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly (1).
5. Radio control switch electrical connector from inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly (1), if equipped.
6. Horn lead from column assembly (15).

Install or Connect

1. Horn lead to column assembly (15).
2. Radio control switch electrical connector to inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly (1), if equipped.
