Installation Procedure











Notice: Ensure all fasteners are securely seated before applying needed torque.

1. Install the wave washer.
2. To install the SIR coil assembly, align the block tooth on the race and upper shaft assembly to the 12 O'clock position (1).

Important:
^ Ensure that the coil assembly is centered. The coil assembly becomes uncentered under the following conditions:
- The steering column is separated from the steering gear and allowed to rotate.
- The centering spring is pushed down, letting the hub rotate while the coil is removed from the steering column.

3. Install the precentered coil assembly to the steering column. Remove the centering tab and discard.
4. Install the coil assembly (2) using the following components for alignment:
^ The horn tower (1) on the canceling cam assembly inner ring
^ The projections on the outer ring

Important: Gently pull on the lower coil assembly wire in order to remove any wire kinks inside of the column assembly. Ensure that there are NO kinks or bends in the SIR coil assembly wire. If a kink or bend is present, interference may occur with the shaft lock mechanism. Turning the steering wheel may cut or damage the wire.

5. Install the coil assembly retaining ring. Ensure that the ring (1) is firmly seated in the groove on the upper shaft assembly (2).
6. Pop the wire harness assembly (4) into the wire strap (5).
7. Install the wire harness strap (2) into the wire strap (1).
8. Install 3 wire harness straps (3) from the wire harness assembly.
9. Install the upper and lower shrouds.
10. Install the tilt lever (if equipped).
11. Install the steering wheel.
12. Enable the SIR system.
