Air Bag Modules and Clock Spring
Clock Spring Centring
Fully turn the clock spring clockwise and then turn it back
about 3 times counterclockwise to align the mating marks.
Caution
Unless the mating marks are properly aligned, the steering
wheel gets stuck amid a turn or the flat cable in the clock
spring is cut. These hinder the SRS air bag from proper
operation, resulting in serious injury to the vehicle's driver.
C A STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION
1. Refer to first that the clock spring has been centred
properly. Then, install the steering wheel.
Caution
Be sure, when installing the steering wheel, not to
have the clock spring harness caught or tangled.
2. After the installation, check the steering wheel for proper
operation by turning it fully right and left.
D A POST-INSTALLATION CHECK
1. Lightly turn the steering wheel right and left to Refer to
that noise and malfunction are not present.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ªONº.
3. Does the SRS warning lamp illuminate for about 7 seconds
and then go out for 5 seconds or more?
4. Yes: The SRS is working properly.
No: Go to Troubleshooting (Refer to P.52-8.)
INSPECTION
DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIR BAG MODULE
INSPECTION
Connector
If any malfunction is found in the following inspection, replace
the air bag module(s) with new one(s).
Discard the old one(s) after deployment as specified in the
service procedure. (Refer to P.52B-48.)
Caution
Never measure circuit resistance in the air bag modules
(squib) even with the specified tester. Measuring the circuit
resistance with a tester causes accidental air bag
deployment due to current that flows or static, resulting
in serious personal injury.
1. Check the cover for dents, cracks or deformation.
2. Check the connectors for damage, terminals for
deformation, and harness for binds.
3. Check the air bag inflator cases for dents, cracks or
deformation.
4. Install the driver's air bag module to the steering wheel
and check fit or alignment with the steering wheel.
5. Install the front passenger's air bag module to instrument
panel and crossmember and check fit and alignment.
