Vehicle Dynamics Control: Removal & Installation Subaru Outback BH

INSTALLATION

Install in the reverse order of removal.

Install in the reverse order of removal.

Note. Do not install yaw rate and lateral G sensor in the wrong direction. There is an arrow on the sensor showing which side faces the front of the vehicle.

1. Disconnect battery ground cable. (Scheme 69): Disconnecting Battery Ground Cable
2. Remove airbag module. See «AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS»(ref-150190). WARNING: Always refer to "Airbag System" before performing airbag module service (if so equipped). See «AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS»(ref-150190).
3. Remove steering wheel nut, then draw out steering wheel from shaft using steering puller. NOTE: Steering wheel must be removed at the straight ahead position. (Scheme 70): Removing Steering Wheel
4. Remove the screw securing lower steering column cover. (Scheme 71): Removing The Screw Securing Lower Steering Column Cover
5. Remove two screws securing upper steering column cover.
6. Release the lock of harness band and disconnect connector of steering angle sensor. (Scheme 72): Removing The Screw Securing Lower Steering Column Cover
7. Remove bolts which hold roll connector and steering angle sensor onto steering column. (Scheme 73): Removing Roll Connector & Steering Angle Sensor Bolts
8. Remove roll connector and steering angle sensor. (Scheme 74): Removing Roll Connector & Steering Angle Sensor NOTE: Do not turn steering angle sensor as it's center position has been recognized by VDCCM.

1. Place steering angle sensor on steering column, confirming that the sensor is positioned as in the figure. (Scheme 75): Installing Steering Angle Sensor
2. Conduct centering of roll connector. See «AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS»(ref-150190).
3. Place roll connector over steering angle sensor and tighten bolts which secure roll connector and steering angle sensor. (Scheme 76): Installing Roll Connector & Steering Angle Sensor
4. Tighten bolts which install roll connector and steering angle sensor onto steering column. (Scheme 77): Tightening Additional Bolts For Roll Connector & Steering Angle Sensor
5. Set steering wheel to neutral and install it onto steering shaft. Tightening torque: 44 N.m (4.5 kgf-m, 32.5 ft-lb) Column cover-to-steering wheel clearance: 2 - 4 mm (0.08 - 0.16 in) CAUTION: Insert roll connector guide pin into guide hole on lower end of surface of steering wheel to prevent damage. Draw out airbag system connector, horn connector and cruise control connectors from guide hole of steering wheel lower end.
6. Install airbag module to steering wheel. See «AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS»(ref-150190). WARNING: Always refer to "Airbag System" before performing the service operation. See «AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS»(ref-150190).
7. Connect battery ground cable. (Scheme 78): Connecting Battery Ground Cable CAUTION: After completion of installation procedure, the following two position settings must be made. Steering angle sensor center positioning Yaw rate and lateral G sensor 0 positioning These procedures are necessary for VDCCM to later recognize what position the vehicle is in. For procedures for the above two settings, see «ADJUSTMENT»(ref-177384-S07457678332005052700000).
