Removal
1.Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2.Remove the instrument panel driver lower cover(5).
Refer to the Instrument Panel Assembly in Body
Structure section.
3.Remove seven screws to remove the steering
cowl(4).
4.Disconnect the SDM (air bag controller) connector
located at lower of the instrument panel driver lower
cover.
5.Remove four fixing screws and disconnect the
driver inflator module connector to remove the
driver inflator module(3).
CAUTION: When carrying a live inflator module,
make sure the bag opening is pointed away from
you. In case of an accidental deployment, the bag
will then deploy with minimal chance of injury.
Never carry the inflator module by the wires or
connector on the underside of the module.
When placing a live inflator module on a bench or
other surface, always face the bag and trim cover
up, away from the surface. This is necessary so that
a free space is provided to allow the air bag to
expand in the unlikely event of accidental
deployment.

Refer to the Steering Wheel in Steering section.
7.Disconnect the SRS coil assembly connector,
remove four fixing screws to remove the SRS coil

Installation
To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse order,
noting the following points.
1. Check to see if the vehicle is in the straight driving
condition and turn the rotary section of the SRS coil
assembly provided to the upper surface of the
lamping switch (combination switch)
counterclockwise fully until it stops.
Then from where it stops, turn it back about 3
rotations to set the alignment marks(7) together
before installing the steering wheel.

pass the harnesses through the route as shown in
the figure so that the starter switch harness(8), the
combination switch harness(9) and inflator module
harness(10) will not get caught.
