Toyota 4Runner Steering Wheel Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How do you remove and install a steering wheel on 2003 through 2009 Toyota 4Runner?
A: Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead, then disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery and wait at least three minutes before proceeding. Pry the screw covers off each side of the steering wheel and loosen the two Torx screws that retain the airbag module; the screws do not need to be completely removed. Each screw has a groove around its head that will catch a ridge around the inside of each hole, allowing the ridge to hold the screw in place when loosened enough to release the airbag module. Lift the airbag module off the steering wheel and disconnect the airbag electrical connectors by releasing the locking tabs first. Unplug any other electrical connectors that would interfere with steering wheel removal. Remove the steering wheel retaining nut and mark the position of the steering wheel to the shaft if marks do not already exist or do not line up. Use a puller to detach the steering wheel from the shaft, ensuring not to screw the puller bolts into the steering wheel hub more than five turns each, and avoid hammering on the shaft. If necessary, re-center the clockspring by verifying that the front wheels are straight, turning the clockspring housing counterclockwise until it becomes hard to turn, then clockwise about 2-1/2 turns to align the marks. The clockspring can be removed from the combination switch if needed by removing four screws and disconnecting the electrical connectors. To install the wheel, align the mark on the steering wheel hub with the mark on the shaft and slide the wheel onto the shaft, then install and tighten the nut to the specified torque. Installation is otherwise the reverse of removal, and after any repairs to the steering components, various sensors for the vehicle stability and traction control system may need calibration, which can be confirmed by a warning light at the instrument cluster. If no warning light is present, the system should be normal, but calibration requires special tools and expertise, and the vehicle can be driven to a dealership service department or qualified repair shop for this if necessary, keeping in mind that the vehicle stability and traction control, ABS, and DAC features may not be operational.
