Q: How to service Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil Centering if the front of the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil has a centering window and on the back side a spring service lock?
A:
You should verify that the wheels on the vehicle are straight ahead, the block tooth of the upper steering shaft is in the 12 o'clock position, and the ignition and start switch is in the lock position before centering the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil. Then, you should hold the coil with the face up, rotate the coil hub clockwise until the coil ribbon stops while depressing the spring service lock, rotate the coil hub counterclockwise, release the spring service lock between the locking tab, align the centered coil with the turn signal switch cancel cam and slide it onto the upper steering shaft.
