Removal & Installation: Notes
CAUTION:
When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.
CAUTION:
Prior to removing any of the components incorporated in the steering linkage, it is imperative that the front wheels are in a straight ahead position and that the steering wheel is then removed to prevent the cruise control spiral cassette being wound up or damaged if the steering linkage is inadvertently moved or rotated. After installing the steering linkage components, the wheel must be re-positioned straight ahead before installing the steering wheel. DO NOT reconnect the multi-plug to the cassette or fit the trim pad at this stage. If, after the vehicle has been driven, it is found that the steering wheel requires re-positioning, remove the wheel. Re-align the drive pegs on the cruise control cassette by slightly rotating the upper part of the cassette in the appropriate direction until the pegs lie horizontal to the steering column. Install the steering wheel ensuring that the drive pegs fit in their respective holes on the back of the steering wheel. After final alignment, re-connect the multi-plug to the cassette, tighten the steering wheel securing nut, and install the trim pad.
