WARNING

WARNINGPower steering fluid, engine parts and exhaust system may be extremely hot if engine has been running. Do not start engine with any loose or disconnected hoses. Do not allow hoses to touch hot exhaust manifold or catalyst.
WARNINGFluid level should be checked with the engine off to prevent personal injury from moving parts.
CAUTIONWhen the system is open, cap all open ends of the hoses, power steering pump fittings or power steering gear ports to prevent entry of foreign material into the components.

PERFORMANCE ISSUES

CONDITIONPOSSIBLE CAUSESEVALUATION/CORRECTION
STEERING WHEEL OR COLUMN HAS FREE-PLAY/LASH/LOOSENESS (CLUNKING OR RATTLING)1. Loose coupling pinch bolt at gear input shaft.1. Check pinch bolt torque. Replace pinch bolt if equipped with thread locker patch and tighten to specifications.

WARNINGSafety goggles should be worn at all times when working on steering columns.
WARNINGBefore beginning any service procedure that involves removing the air bag: Remove and isolate the negative (-) battery cable (ground) from the vehicle battery. This is the only sure way to disable the air bag system. Failure to do this could result in accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury.
WARNINGThe air bag system is a sensitive, complex electro-mechanical unit. Before attempting to diagnose, remove or install the air bag system components you must first disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable. Failure to do so could result in accidental deployment of the air bag and possible personal injury. The fasteners, screws, and bolts, originally used for the air bag components, have special coatings and are specifically designed for the air bag system. They must never be replaced with any substitutes. Anytime a new fastener is needed, replace with the correct fasteners provided in the service package or fasteners listed in the parts books. Before servicing a steering column equipped with an air bag
WARNINGWhen handling an undeployed air bag during servicing of the steering column, the following precautions should be observed: At no time should any source of electricity be permitted near the inflator on the back of the air bag. When carrying a live air bag, the trim cover should be pointed away from the body to minimize injury if the air bag should accidently deploy. If the air bag is placed on a bench or other surface, the plastic cover should be face-up to minimize movement, in case of accidental deployment.
CAUTIONDisconnect negative (ground) cable from the battery before servicing any column component.

Scheme 47: DESCRIPTION
Scheme 47: DESCRIPTION

This vehicle is equipped with a tilt type steering column (1). The steering column is designed to be serviced only as complete assembly if an internal component is found to be defective. The shaft, bearings and intermediate shaft are all serviced with the column.

The serviceable components on the steering column assembly are

  1. Clockspring (Integral part of Steering Column Control Module (SCCM))
  2. Driver Airbag
  3. Ignition Switch
  4. Key Cylinder
  5. Lock Cylinder Housing
  6. Multi-Function Switches (left and right)
  7. Tilt Lever
  8. Shrouds
  9. Steering Wheel

These components can be serviced without removal of the steering column from the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate Service Information for servicing these components separately.

A special steering column is used in some Export areas meeting Thatcham security requirements. This steering column (3) is much the same as the standard steering column except for the addition of a tamper-proof shield (2) around the lock cylinder housing and an antitheft cup (1) surrounding the key cylinder. The tamper-proof shield disallows service of the lock cylinder housing. The antitheft cup can be removed allowing access to the key cylinder for service purposes.

The Thatcham steering column also features a ratcheting slip collar internal to the column assembly. This collar is not serviceable.

IGNITION SWITCH

  1. Ensure the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the actuator shaft in the lock housing is in the RUN position. CAUTION: Use care when installing the ignition switch on the lock cylinder housing to avoid damaging the key-in plunger (3).
  2. Align the ignition switch with the key-in plunger (3), actuator shaft and retaining tabs (2) located on the lock cylinder housing. Carefully install the switch, snapping it into place over the retaining tabs.
  3. Install the ignition switch (2) mounting screw (1). Tighten the screw to 2 N.m (18 in. lbs.).

LOCK CYLINDER HOUSING

KEY CYLINDER

  1. Place the actuator in the lock cylinder housing to the RUN position (if not already there).
  2. Insert the key into the key cylinder and turn the key cylinder to the RUN position.
  3. Align the retaining tab on the key cylinder with the slot in the top of the lock cylinder housing.
  4. Slide the key cylinder into the lock cylinder housing until the key cylinder retaining tab locks the cylinder into place.
  5. Rotate the key back and forth, then remove and reinstall it, making sure the key cylinder and lock cylinder housing operate properly.

SKREEM/WCM (IF EQUIPPED)

  1. Slide the ring of the SKREEM/WCM (2) over the lock cylinder housing (3) and engage the retainer fingers in the recesses formed on the lock cylinder housing.
  2. Install the screw (1) fastening the SKREEM/WCM (2) to the lock cylinder housing (3). Tighten the screw to 3.5 N.m (31 in. lbs.).

STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE

  1. Slide the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) (with switch stalks) (3) onto the steering column (2).

  5. Install steering wheel ensuring the flats on hub align with the clockspring. Refer to «WHEEL, STEERING, INSTALLATION»(ref-612706-S30732978892014043000000) . Pull the airbag leads through the larger slot. Ensure leads do not get pinched under the steering wheel. NOTE: There is a small wire harness in the steering wheel and it contains the horn circuits and speed control circuits.
  6. Connect the speed control and horn wire connector into the clockspring.
  7. Pull the grenade pin out of the clockspring.
  8. Install the driver airbag, refer to «AIR BAG, DRIVER, INSTALLATION»(ref-612712-S19125029522014043000000) .

Do this so the crossmember can be relocated, upon reinstallation, against the body of vehicle in the same location as before removal. If the front suspension crossmember is not reinstalled in exactly the same location as before removal, the preset front wheel alignment settings (caster and camber) may be lost.
  19. Mark the location of the front crossmember on the body near each mounting bolt using a marker or crayon. Do not use a scratch awl or other tool that can penetrate the protective coating on the body.
  20. Support the front crossmember with a transmission jack.
