You need to remove the steering wheel and the steering column shroud, disconnect any electrical connectors as needed, and remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil retaining ring and discard it and the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil from the steering shaft. If replacing, discard the old inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil.

If reusing the existing inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil it must be centered. You need to align the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil with the horn tower on the turn signal switch cancel cam, slide the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil onto the steering shaft, firmly seat the new inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil retaining ring into the appropriate groove on the steering shaft, remove and discard the centering tab from the new inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil, connect any electrical connectors as needed, install the steering column shroud and the steering wheel and remove anti-rotation pin J 42640.

The front of the SIR coil has a centering window. To center the SIR coil perform the following steps: 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. If a double wire harness strap is installed onto the wire harness assembly and column, you must route the wires up against the steering column. One wire harness strap will surround one lead from the coil to the steering column. The other wire harness strap will surround all other leads to the steering column.
