The following service operations include the works which may affect the SRS airbag system. Before starting work, always be sure to confirm the precautions related to the SRS airbag system. (Refer to 
)
)1. Check of the straight-ahead position of the front tire
2. Precautions
CAUTION:
After turning the ignition switch to OFF, you may have to wait for a while before disconnecting the battery terminals. Check appropriate precautions for battery terminal disconnection before proceeding. (Refer to )
)3. Disconnection of the battery ground terminal
(1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground terminal, and then wait for 60 seconds before starting the work. (Refer to )
)WARNING:
The air bag and pretensioner system are fitted with a backup power supply. If you start the work within 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery ground terminal, the air bag may be activated.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the molding, be sure to fully open the door glasses on both driver’s and passenger’s sides.

·When the steering sensor is rotated for its operation check (noise check, diagnosis, etc.), make sure to confirm the vehicle is in the straight-ahead position, then perform the check with the steering wheel installed.
NOTE:
When the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) is to be replaced with a new one, do not pull off the lock pin of the steering roll connector at this point.
(1) Put the turn signal switch in the neutral position.
CAUTION:
Make sure to put the turn signal switch in the neutral position. Otherwise, the pin of this switch may be broken.
(2) Engage 3 claws to install the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor).
(3) Connect each connector to the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor).

)4. Installation of the steering column cover LWR (Refer to )
)5. Installation of the steering column cover support (with smart entry) (Refer to )
)6. Check of the straight-ahead position of the front tire
7. Centering adjustment of the steering roll connector
CAUTION:
Do not rotate the steering roll connector when the ignition switch is turned to ON and the battery ground terminal is connected.
(1) If the steering roll connector SUB-ASSY (with the steering sensor) is replaced with a new one, remove the lock pin of the steering roll connector.
(2) Check that the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
(3) Check that the battery ground terminal is disconnected.
CAUTION:
