REASSEMBLY

1. INSTALL IGNITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
(a) Install the starter switch assembly to the steering column upper bracket with the 2 screws.
2. INSTALL KEY INTER LOCK SOLENOID (for Automatic Transaxle)
(a) Install the key inter lock solenoid to the steering column upper bracket assembly with the 2 screws.
3. INSTALL UNLOCK WARNING SWITCH ASSEMBLY






(a) Install the unlock warning switch.
(b) Automatic transaxle:
Connect terminals 3 and 4 of the unlock warning switch connector.
(c) Connect the unlock warning switch connector to the ignition switch.






(d) Manual transaxle:
Secure the unlock warning switch wire harness to the steering column upper bracket with a new clamp as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the clamp when securing the wire harness as the wire harness could be cut.





(e) Automatic transaxle:
Secure the unlock warning switch wire harness to the steering column upper bracket as shown in the illustration.
4. INSTALL IGNITION SWITCH LOCK CYLINDER ASSEMBLY
(a) Make sure the ignition switch lock cylinder is in the ACC position.
(b) Install the ignition switch lock cylinder.
5. INSPECT STEERING LOCK OPERATION
(a) Check that the steering lock mechanism is activated when the key is removed.
(b) Check that the steering lock mechanism is deactivated when the key is inserted and turned to the ACC position.
HINT: If there is any abnormality, replace the ignition switch lock cylinder.

6. INSPECT STEERING COLUMN TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Check that the steering column tube bearing rotates smoothly without looseness in the axial direction or any irregular noise.
HINT: Replace the steering column if the bearing does not rotate as specified.

7. INSTALL STEERING MAIN SHAFT ASSEMBLY






(a) Using a snap ring expander, install a new steering main shaft snap ring (inner side) to the steering main shaft.
(b) Install the steering main shaft to the steering column tube.
(c) Secure the steering column tube in a vise. Insert aluminum plates between the steering column tube and the vise to prevent damage.
NOTICE:
- Do not apply excessive force to the steering column tube bracket when holding the steering column tube in a vise.
- Do not drop the steering main shaft.





(d) Using a snap ring expander, install a new steering main shaft snap ring (outer side) to the steering main shaft assembly.
8. INSTALL STEERING MAIN SHAFT BEARING






(a) Hold the steering column tube in a vise between aluminum plates.
NOTE: Do not apply excessive force to the steering column tube bracket when holding the steering column tube in a vise.

(b) Using SST and hammer, tap in a new steering main shaft bearing to the steering column tube.
SST: 09612-22011
9. INSTALL STEERING COLUMN UPPER WITH SWITCH BRACKET ASSEMBLY






(a) Temporarily install the steering column upper with switch bracket and steering column upper clamp with 2 new tapered-head bolts.
(b) Tighten the 2 tapered-head bolts until the bolt heads break off.
10. INSTALL TRANSPONDER KEY AMPLIFIER






(a) Align the transponder key amplifier with the installation position of the upper bracket with the amplifier inclined.
(b) Push on the transponder key amplifier and install it to the upper bracket.
NOTE: Do not push the amplifier with excessive force.

11. INSTALL NO. 2 STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT ASSEMBLY






(a) Align the matchmarks on the No. 2 intermediate shaft and the steering main shaft and install them with the bolt.
