  Q: How to service and repair the steering wheel on Chevrolet Venture?

  A:

  To service or repair the Steering Wheel, make sure that the ignition is off and that you have disabled the sir system. Take off the inflator module and if the Steering Wheel hub has no alignment marks, scribe one in accordance with the alignment mark on the shaft of the Steering Wheel. Relax the Steering Wheel nut and align it so that it is level with the ending of the steering column shaft. For Pontiac vehicles, use the J1859-A Steering Wheel puller (J1859-A) and J42578 Steering Wheel puller legs (J42578) to loosen the Steering Wheel. Within these vehicles, the J1859-A is not enough for Chevrolet and Oldsmobile vehicles. If equipped, disconnect the Steering Wheel controls electrical connector, as well as the horn switch from the steering hub. Take off the Steering Wheel nut and then driver's airbag. If you have Steering Wheel controls, remove them and the harness from the Steering Wheel. For installation, connect the Steering Wheel controls and harness to the Steering Wheel and steer the sir connector through the Steering Wheel, and align the marks to Steering Wheel, and Steering Shaft, before installing the Steering Wheel. Make sure the Steering Wheel nut is reusable only when it is free from rust and not dirty. When an accumulated 3 Nm (27 inch-pounds) of torque develops between the fastener and its counterpart before it goes any further, replace it. Tighten the Steering Wheel nut to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.), reconnect the horn switch lead and Steering Wheel controls electrical connector if equipped, reinstall the inflator module, enable the sir system, and confirm that the Steering Wheel control and horn are operating properly.

  Q: How to replace the steering wheel on Chevrolet Venture?

  A:

  The first step in Steering Wheel replacement requires users to switch off the ignition and deactivate the sir system. Clean up the inflator module then mark an alignment mark using a pencil on the hub of the Steering Wheel when nofactory alignment marks exist on the wheel hub. You should loosen the Steering Wheel nut to its end position where it meets the steering column shaft. Vehicle-specific tools are required for wheel removal: pontiac owners should use j1859-a puller with j42578 legs but chevrolet and oldsmobile drivers only need the j1859-a puller. Unplug the electrical connector for wheel controls and disconnect the horn switch lead from steering hub before removing the Steering Wheel nut and Steering Wheel from Steering Shaft. If installed on your vehicle you should first remove the controls then disconnect the controls harness from the Steering Wheel. When installing the controls alongside their harness to a Steering Wheel follow these steps: guide the sir connector through the wheel then make sure the Steering Wheel marks line up before you place the Steering Wheel on its shaft. Start with a Steering Wheel nut that functions as a prevailing torque type with reusable capabilities then tighten it to 45 nm torque (33 ft. Lbs. Torque). After connecting the horn switch lead to the steering hub and reattaching the Steering Wheel controls electrical connector you must install the inflator module and activate the sir system before testing both the horn and Steering Wheel controls.
