ek9 steering wheel

i was just wondering if ek9 steering wheels fit onto ek4 96' models? anyone know?

yes, i believe ek9 steering wheels can be fitted to any ek/ej/em

would it fit 96-98 models though?

Yes, will fit

oh ok thanks guys.

they fit along with ep3, s2k

so straight plug and play?

its a direct bolt on. you dont need any modifications

oh sweet.

do i have to reset my ecu after i do install it in?

You are hopefully going to remove the cars power (ie Remove the earth cable!) before you start uninstalling it! The ECU will be reset in anyway cause you have removed the power!

what u mean? i removed the power from my battery. then i installed it.

Every time you work on your car electrical wise you disconnect the battery. Thats what i met mate! You should be fine, other wise take it to a auto electrician and they could fit it for you. There should be many tutorials online you could follow.

PS. my English is terrible! lol

lol when i did it i disconnect the battery for about 10 min then i installed the wheel. but im not sure if i need to reset the ecu so that the car can recognize the new airbag.

No dude it shouldn't. Every time I reset my ECU I disconnect the battery and stomp on the brakes until the light don't flash anymore. Reset the ECU every time.

PS if you had to readjust the clock it was reset...

yeah i had to readjust my clock. what does reseting do anyways?

Clears error codes I guess. Probably like resetting a computer...

would you lose power from it?

Yeah man, no battery no power 10 min should be enough

yea remove the positive and negative from battery. and install it

define power? u mean engine power after the reset? or battery power

disconnect battery, press brake for 10 second to drain the electric power remain in the wiring, then do it.

dont stress over it ... seriously.

Unplug battery, install, plug battery back in. your car isn't going to lose or gain power

Unplugging the battery is just to stop deployment of the airbag, which shouldn't happen if you install it properly

lol nah im not worrying bout losing or gaining power. im worried bout my srs. if the ecu recognizes the new airbag or not.

lol this thread is so funny.

well if your worried after installing your steering wheel.
now that it's in, (im assuming) its not too late to disconnect the battery and leave overnight and reconnect back and drive normally again.

lol dude. what you on about? im worried that my ecu wont recognize the new airbag. i only disconnect the battery so that i can install the wheel so it wont blow on me, obviously if i got the steering wheel on i can drive. why would i want to disconnect it over night?

daniel, u need a stock cluster to see if SRS unless ECU pops the code

ur ek9 cluster doesnt have SRS light.

yeah. i was gonna borrow my mates to check it out.
