Safety goggles should be worn at all times when
working on steering columns.
To service the steering wheel, switches or airbag, Refer to Electrical Restraints and follow all WARN- INGS and CAUTIONS.
WARNING: THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS A SENSITIVE, COMPLEX ELECTRO-MECHANICAL UNIT. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE, REMOVE OR INSTALL THE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPONENTS YOU MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE. THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS- CHARGE. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY. THE FASTENERS, SCREWS, AND BOLTS, ORIGINALLY USED FOR THE AIRBAG COMPONENTS, HAVE SPECIAL COAT- INGS AND ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE

INSTALLATION
The ignition key must be in the key cylinder for cylinder removal. The key cylinder must be removed first before installing ignition switch.
(1) Before installing ignition switch, rotate the slot
in the switch to the ON position.
(2) Connect the electrical connector to rear of the ignition switch. Make sure that locking tabs are fully seated into wiring connector.
KEY-IN IGNITION SWITCH DESCRIPTION
The key-in ignition switch is integral to the igni- tion switch, which is mounted on the left side of the steering column. It closes a path to ground for the Central Timer Module (CTM) when the ignition key is inserted in the ignition key cylinder and the driver door ajar switch is closed (driver door is open). The key-in ignition switch opens the ground path when the key is removed from the ignition key cylinder. The ground path is also opened when the driver door ajar switch is open (driver door is closed).
The key-in ignition switch cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire ignition switch must be replaced, (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/IG- NITION SWITCH - REMOVAL).

The power steering gear is a recirculating ball type
gear (Fig. 1). The gear ratio’s used are 12.5:1.
OPERATION
The gear acts as a rolling thread between the worm shaft and rack piston. The worm shaft is sup- ported by a thrust bearing at the lower end and a bearing assembly at the upper end. When the worm shaft is turned from input from the steering column the rack piston moves. The rack piston teeth mesh with the pitman shaft. Turning the worm shaft, turns the pitman shaft, which turns the steering linkage.
REMOVAL
(1) Place the front wheels in a straight-ahead posi-
tion.
NOTE: The steering column on vehicles with an automatic transmission may not be equipped with an internal locking shaft that allows the ignition key cylinder to be locked with the key. Alternative meth- ods of locking the steering wheel for service will have to be used.
(2) Lock the steering wheel. (3) Siphon out as much power steering fluid as
possible.

ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION: Steering gear must be adjusted in the proper order. If adjustments are not performed in order, gear damage and improper steering response may result.
NOTE: Adjusting the steering gear in the vehicle is not recommended. Remove gear from the vehicle and drain the fluid. Then mount gear in a vise to perform adjustments.

(1) Remove the steering gear from the vehicle
(Refer to 19 - STEERING/GEAR - REMOVAL).
(2) Mount the gear carefully into a soft-jawed vise.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the vise on the gear case. This may affect the adjustment
(3) Hold the steering gear upside down over a drain pan and rotate the input shaft back and forth several times lock-to-lock to discharge the fluid from the steering gear
(4) Rotate the input shaft to the left stop and then back-off approximately 45 degrees. Using an inch- pound torque wrench on the input shaft, record the peak torque required to slowly and evenly rotate the input shaft clockwise 1⁄2 turn (180 degrees) starting from the 45 degree position. This peak torque read- ing is the preload torque. The preload torque must be within 2 - 10 in-lbs.
(5) Rotate the input shaft to its center of travel (approximately 1.5 turns from either stop). Place the torque wrench on the input shaft with the handle in the vertical position. Rotate the torque wrench slowly and evenly 1⁄4 turn (90 degrees) each side of center and record the peak torque measure on or near cen- ter. This total on-center torque reading must be 5 - 9
in-lbs higher than the previously measured preload torque without exceeding a total of 17 in-lbs. The value of the total on-center minus the preload torque is defined as the meshload torque(6) If required, adjust the on-center torque by loos- ening the adjuster screw lock nut and turning the adjuster screw until the total on-center and meshload torque readings fall within the specified values. Turn the adjuster screw clockwise to increase and counter- clockwise to decrease the torque reading. While hold- ing the adjuster screw in place, tighten the lock nut to 31 N·m (23 ft. lbs.).
(7) Re-check the preload and on-center torque
readings.
(8) Install pitman arm on the steering gear (Refer to 19 - STEERING/LINKAGE/PITMAN ARM - INSTALLATION).
