You need to align the SIR coil assembly with the horn tower on the turn signal cancel cam assembly, slide the SIR coil onto the steering shaft assembly, firmly seat the retaining ring into the groove on the steering shaft assembly, remove and discard the centering tab from the new SIR coil, install the steering column trim covers and the steering wheel and then enable the SIR system.

You need to verify the following conditions: the wheels on the vehicle are straight ahead, the block tooth of the steering shaft assembly is in the 12 o'clock position and the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.

You need to hold the SIR coil with the face up, and rotate the coil hub clockwise until the coil ribbon stops and the coil hub slowly, counterclockwise until the centering window appears yellow and both arrows line up. This is the CENTER position. While holding the coil hub in the CENTER position, align the SIR coil with the horn tower and slide it onto the steering shaft assembly.

You need to disable the SIR system, and remove the steering wheel from the steering shaft, the steering column trim covers, the wire harness straps from the steering wheel column wire harness, the retaining ring, and the SIR coil from the steering shaft. If replacing, you can discard the SIR coil.
