  1. Install the steering angle sensor (3) to the NEW MFS holder (1).
  2. CAUTION: Refer to Fastener Caution .
    IMPORTANT: Install the steering angle sensor to MFS holder retaining screws (2) until there is no movement of the sensor to MFS holder, DO NOT overtighten the screws as damage to the steering angle sensor may occur.
  3. Install the steering angle sensor to MFS holder retaining screws (2).

    Tighten:  Tighten the screws to 0.3 N.m (0.22 lb in).

  4. NOTE: The new SIR coil assembly will be centered. Improper alignment of the SIR coil assembly may damage the unit, causing an inflatable restraint malfunction.
    IMPORTANT: If an existing SIR coil assembly is to being installed, the SIR coil assembly must be centred.
    IMPORTANT: To centre the SIR coil rotate the coil in one direction until resistance can be felt, then rotate the coil in the opposite direction counting the amount of rotations (there should be approximately 6 complete rotations). Position the wiring harness on the front of the SIR coil to the 12 O'clock position (if not already there) then rotate the coil 3 full turns in the opposite direction and lock the coil in this position, this is the centre position.
  5. Centre the SIR coil assembly if required.
