Replacement Procedure
- Disconnect the vehicle battery and wait at least 10 minutes before touching the airbag to avoid accidental deployment.
- Mark the steering wheel position relative to the steering column to preserve alignment.
- Remove the airbag module by releasing the retaining clips or screws from the rear of the wheel and carefully disconnect the airbag and horn connectors.
- Loosen and remove the central retaining nut, then use a suitable steering wheel puller to remove the wheel from the splined shaft without damaging the column.
- Transfer any switches or trim pieces if required, fit the replacement wheel onto the spline ensuring alignment marks match, and tighten the retaining nut to the manufacturer’s specified torque.
- Reconnect connectors, refit the airbag module, reconnect the battery, and verify that SRS and steering controls are functioning. Steering angle sensor recalibration may be required using diagnostic equipment.

Installation Recommendations
Always observe safety procedures when working with SRS components. Disconnect the battery before starting and allow capacitors to discharge. Use proper tools (steering wheel puller, torque wrench) and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s tightening specifications. After installation, check that airbag warning lamp extinguishes and, if necessary, perform steering angle sensor calibration with appropriate PSA diagnostic tools.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
Steering wheels typically show wear from constant handling: leather or trim can fade, crack or become shiny from oils and abrasion. Excessive sun exposure accelerates deterioration. Mechanical issues can arise from impacts in collisions, which may damage mounting splines or the airbag/horn connectors. Electrically, buttons and switches can fail from use or moisture ingress.
