- Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery and then wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels can face straight ahead.
- Remove the airbag module. (Refer to «AIRBAG MODULES & CLOCK SPRING»(ref-537214) .
- Loosen the steering wheel lock nut. Tightening torque: 39.2 ~ 49.0 N.m (4.0 ~ 5.0 kgf.m, 28.9 ~ 36.2 lb-ft)
- Remove the steering wheel from the steering column shaft by using a SST (09561-11001). CAUTION: Do not hammer on the steering wheel to remove it; it may damage the steering column.
- Remove the steering column upper and lower shroud.
- Remove the clock spring.
- Loosen the screw and then remove the multifunction switches.
- Remove the lower crash pad. (Refer to «CRASH PAD»(ref-537227-S36224571332013032200000) )
- Loosen the bolt and then disconnect the universal joint assembly from the pinion of the steering gear box. Tightening torque: 29.4 ~ 34.3 N.m (3.0 ~ 3.5 kgf.m, 21.7 ~ 25.3 lb-ft) CAUTION: Keep the neutral-range to prevent the damage of the clock spring inner cable when you handle the steering wheel.
- Disconnect all connectors connected the steering column.
- Remove the steering column & EPS unit assembly by loosening the mounting bolts and nuts. Tightening torque: 12.7 ~ 17.7 N.m (1.3 ~ 1.8 kgf.m, 9.4 ~ 13.0 lb-ft)
- Installation is the reverse of the removal. CAUTION: When installing the clock spring, refer the «CLOCK SPRING CIRCUIT INSPECTION»(/kia/soul/i-2011-2014/remont/airbag/#airbag-system-diagnosis) to prevent the damage of clock spring inner cable.
- Compensate the steering angle sensor after replacing the steering column.
