Deployable Steering Column - In-Vehicle Deployment
69. Depower the SRS Refer to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures).
70. NOTE: It may be necessary to lower or remove the deployable steering column from the instrument panel to access the deployable steering column electrical connector.
Access the deployable steering column electrical connector.
71. NOTE: If the deployable steering column does not have a hard-wired pigtail, cut the wires and connector(s) from the vehicle wire harness and reconnect to the deployable steering column.
Cut each of the deployable steering column wires, leaving at least 101.6 mm (4 in) to work with.
72. Remove any sheathing (if present) and strip the insulation from the ends of the cut wires.
73. Make a jumper harness to deploy the deployable steering column by obtaining 2 wires (20 gauge
minimum) at least 9.14 m (30 ft). At one end of the jumper harness, connect the wires together.
74. Using the end of the jumper harness where the wires are not connected together, attach each wire of the jumper harness to each wire of the deployable steering column. Use tape or other insulating material to make sure the leads do not make contact with each other.
