5. Malfunction at the side of driver
Warning
Test condition
Possible reason
Diagnostic procedure
(1) Check helix cable
Warning
If the treatment is wrong, safety airbag assembly might be triggered to unfold to make heavy
human hurt, so, before the treatment, it is necessary to read repairing warnings carefully.
Refer to repairing warning of safety airbag system.
Is every related part of helix cable normal? (Whether the relationship between pins is normal,
whether there is any unnecessary short circuit, open circuit and other phenomenon)
Normal: make next step
Abnormal: change the helix cable
Refer to safety airbag system, disassembling and assembling of helix cable
(2) Confirm whether the malfunction is on safety airbag assembly at the side of driver or other parts.
a. Change it with a good safety airbag assembly at the side of driver,
b. Assemble the cathode cable of battery,
c. Set ignition switch at ON position,
d. Is there the display of malfunction code? Could it be removed?
Yes: change the safety airbag assembly at the side of driver
Refer to safety airbag system, disassembling and assembling of safety airbag assembly at
the side of driver.
No: make next step
(3) Check the connector of helix cable wiring harness
a. Set ignition switch at LOCK position.
b. Loosen the cathode cable of battery and keep this state for one minute at least,
c. Disassemble shell body of steering column,
d. Loosen connector of helix cable,
e. Is the connector of helix cable normal? (Whether the relationship between pins is normal, whether
there is any unnecessary short circuit, open circuit and other phenomenon)
Normal: make next step
Abnormal: change the helix cable
Refer to safety airbag system, disassembling and assembling of helix cable
Supplemental restraint system--Remove malfunction
Malfunction of safety airbag at the side of driver (resistance is too big or too small,
If the treatment is wrong, safety airbag assembly might be triggered to unfold to make
heavy human hurt, so, before the treatment, it is necessary to read repairing warnings
carefully. Refer to repairing warning of safety airbag system.
