CHECKING & REPAIR PROCEDURE

1. Remove three horn cap attaching bolts located on the rear side of the steering wheel.

2. Pull the horn cap slowly out of the steering wheel.
3. Verify that the horn harness is installed through the hole (diameter: 14 mm or 0.55 in.) on the horn cap stay.

4. If the horn wiring harness is installed through the hole, the result is OK; then, reinstall the horn cap slowly into the steering wheel and fasten the three bolts.

NOTE:
Be sure not to damage or pinch the harness during the horn cap installation.
