Saab 9 3 - Video tutorial

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: CIM module disassembly instructions

In order to remove the light switch unit or CIM module (Chassis Integration Module) it is necessary to remove the steering wheel. It is therefore necessary to first release the airbag: intercept the holes present behind the spokes of the steering wheel and leveraging with a small fixed screwdriver, release the fixing springs and disconnect the detonator sockets (it is advisable to disconnect the battery to avoid ignition of the lights). Then unscrew the steering wheel fixing pin and remove it; unhook the leather bellows from behind the CIM module and disconnect the plug; at this point open the tab fixing the module to the steering column and remove it by pulling it forward. The control levers can also be released. Then proceed backwards to install.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
