STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
| WARNING | Handling the air bag module improperly can accidentally deploy the air bag module, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings before handling the air bag module. (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS .) |
| CAUTION | The EPS system may not operate correctly if it is detached from the steering gear (pinion) when doing procedures such as steering shaft and column removal/installation or intermediate shaft disconnection. After doing these procedures, always set the EPS system to the neutral position so that the EPS operates normally. (See EPS SYSTEM NEUTRAL POSITION SETTING .) |
