INSPECT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Do a diagnostic system check (See page DI−884).
Do a visual check which includes the following items with
the steering wheel pad (with airbag) removed from the ve-
hicle.
Check the deformation on the horn button contact

plate of the steering wheel.
Check the damage on the spiral cable connector

and wire harness.
If the horn button contact plate of the steering wheel is de-

assembly with a new one.
There should be no interference between the steering
wheel pad and steering wheel, and the clearance should
be uniform all the way around when the new steering
wheel pad is installed on the steering wheel.
