Disassembly

DISASSEMBLY

WARNING: To service any component of the SCCM, the entire assembly must be removed from the column. This must be done due to the clockspring passing through the assembly and into the self docking connector. Failure to remove the assembly could damage the pins of the clockspring and prevent the airbag system from operating properly.





1. Remove the three clockspring screws (1) just far enough to release it from the SCCM. Leave them in the clockspring so it won't unwind.





2. Carefully pull straight up on clockspring to remove.

NOTE: After the clockspring is removed, there is only one more screw on the top side of the SCCM that needs to be removed and is located at approximately the six o'clock position on the SCCM It holds the lower side of the steering angle sensor, the lower side of the electric tilt lever assembly, or the strengthening strut if not equipped with electric tilt.





3. If equipped with ESP, remove the steering angle sensor screw located at the six o'clock position on the SCCM and remove the steering angle sensor (1) from the SCCM (2). If not equipped with ESP, there will be a plastic insert there for strengthening of the SCCM that will lift right out.





4. If equipped with manual telescoping column, remove the strut screw, located at the six o'clock position, and strut (1).





5. If equipped with electronic telescoping column, remove the one remaining screw (4) to electric tilt located at the six o'clock position, and remove stalk and switch (3).





6. Remove the speed control switch (1).





7. Remove the steering column tilt/telescoping lever (3) screw (4) located at the six o'clock position.





8. Remove the three screws (1) from the bottom of the SCCM for the multi-function switch and Steering Control Module (SCM).





9. Separate the multi-function switch from the SCM.
