Combination Switch: Removal

  1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight ahead.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK".
  3. Disconnect the battery "-" (negative) terminal cable, and wait at least 5 minutes.
  4. Disconnect the yellow 2-way SRS connector located under the steering column.
    CAUTION: The wheels of the vehicle must be straight ahead and the steering column in the "LOCK" position before disconnecting the steering wheel. Failure to do so will cause the coil assembly to become uncentered which will cause damage to the coil assembly.
  5. Remove the transmission (for M/T) and transfer control lever knob. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors then remove front console assembly.
  6. Remove lower cluster assembly.
  7. Remove the engine hood opening lever, then remove steering lower cover.
  8. Loosen the inflator module fixing bolt from behind the steering wheel assembly using a Torx® driver or equivalent until the inflator module can be released from steering assembly. Disconnect the yellow 2-way SRS connector located behind the inflator module, then remove inflator module.

    WARNING: The INFLATOR MODULE SHOULD ALWAYS BE CARRIED WITH THE URETHANE COVER AWAY FROM YOUR BODY AND SHOULD ALWAYS BE LAID ON A FLAT SURFACE WITH THE URETHANE SIDE UP. THIS IS NECESSARY BECAUSE A FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR CUSHION TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. OTHERWISE, PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.

  9. Apply a setting mark (1) across the steering wheel and shaft so parts can be reassembled in their original position. Move the front wheels to the straight ahead position, then use steering wheel remover J-29752 to remove the steering wheel.

    CAUTION: Never apply force to the steering wheel in direction of the shaft by using a hammer or other impact tools in an attempt to remove the steering wheel. The steering shaft is designed as an energy absorbing unit.
