Cable Reel Replacement: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Before installing the steering wheel, align the front wheels straight ahead.
  2. Do the 12 volt battery terminal disconnection procedure (see 12 VOLT BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ), then wait at least 3 minutes.
  3. Set the turn signal canceling sleeve (A) so that the projections (B) are aligned vertically.

  5. Install the column covers (see GLOVE BOX STRIKER REPLACEMENT ).
  6. If necessary, center the cable reel (new replacement cable reels come centered). Do this by first rotating the cable reel clockwise until it stops. Then rotate it counterclockwise (about three turns) until the arrow mark (A) on the cable reel label points straight up.

  7. Position the two tabs (A) of the turn signal canceling sleeve (B) as shown, and install the steering wheel on to the steering column shaft, making sure the steering wheel hub (C) engages the pins (D) of the cable reel and tabs of the turn signal canceling sleeve. Do not tap on the steering wheel or steering column shaft when installing the steering wheel.

  9. Install the driver's airbag (see DRIVER'S AIRBAG REPLACEMENT  ).
  10. Do the 12 volt battery terminal reconnection procedure (see 12 VOLT BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ).
  11. Connect the HDS and clear any DTCs (see HOW TO CLEAR DTCS  ).
  12. After installing the cable reel, confirm proper system operation:
    • Turn the ignition switch to ON (II); the SRS indicator should come on for about 6 seconds, and then go off.
    • After the SRS indicator has turned off, turn the steering wheel fully left and right to confirm the SRS indicator does not come on.
    • Make sure the horn and turn signal switches work properly.
    • Make sure the steering wheel switches work properly.
  13. After installation, check the steering wheel spoke angle. If the steering spoke angles to the right and left are not equal (steering wheel is not centered), correct the engagement of the steering wheel/column shaft splines.
