To unbolt the steering column, firstly, align the car front wheels and pull the
Steering Wheel, pull the nut in order to disconnect the cable from the battery's negative terminal, wait for at least three minutes, then continue with the procedure. Next, do not replace the steering wheel into place by turning the key to the LOCK position, so as not to spin the steering shaft because a spun clockspring of the airbag may result because of it. Next, unscrew the instrument trim panel and knee bolster, which is beneath the column; further, demure the heater duct by opening the plastic clips. That next, unbolt the steering column covers and then, disconned the electrical connectors coming from the steering column harness. Open the column hole cover located at the firewall and at the engine compartment, indicate the upper intermediate shaft in relation to the shaft coupler before loosening the pinch bolt. Go on to take off the steering column mounting bolts, lower the column and swing it back in order to unhook the upper intermediate shaft from the shaft coupler provided that there are no connections left. For installation, put the steering column in place and ensuring that the marks that you have made earlier, connect the intermediate shaft. Replace the column mounting, and then tighten the column mounting fasteners, as well as the pinch bolt to the standard torque. The remaining of the steps relates to the process of removal in reverse order. Any work done to parts related to the steering may affect the stability and the traction control of the vehicle and a warning light that usually appears at the instrument cluster may indicate that the various sensors have to be calibrated. Uncorrectable warning light not present means that the system is running as it should, unless of course there are other symptoms. Calibration is a complex procedure which needs special equipment and only automobile dealerships service departments or authorized repair centers may be an solution noting that the vehicle stability and traction control, ABS, and DAG may not be working on it.
