The following steps should be observed when installing a new Electronic Power Steering Column:

1. Prior to installation, determine the cause of failure and repair as necessary. Failure to do so, may lead to premature failure of the new column.
2. Compare the replacement column with that removed to ensure fixings and connections all match.
3. Turn ignition on while ensuring that the engine is not started
4. Using the OEM recommended diagnostic software, remove any fault codes from the ECU.
   • Please note should an Electronic Column fail, there will always be a fault code logged by the ECU regardless of the failure. Please make a check on the diagnostic software being used if you cannot find any faults as the software may not be suitable for the vehicle.
5. Turn off iginition
   • It is imperative that the ignition is left in the OFF position, please do not turn the ignition back on to check if the fault codes have returned.
6. Disconnect the battery
7. Remove the faulty Electronic Steering Column
8. Locate and fit the new Electronic Column as per the OEM workshop manual
   • Please note if the fault codes have not been removed from the ECU there is a possibility of the codes been transferred to the new column.
9. Ensure that 1 hour has passed (from disconnection of battery) before reconnecting the battery.
10. As per step 3, turn on the ignition. Do not start the engine.
11. Make a complete scan using the diagnostic software and continue to calibrate if required.
12. Complete a full road test
