SPIRAL CABLE INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Check that the spiral cable sub-assembly is center position.

      OK
      The connector is at the top.
      The matchmarks are aligned.
      The top of the flat cable U-turn can be checked from the check window.

    2. If the spiral cable sub-assembly is not centered, center it.

      Note

      Failure to observe the following precautions may result in damage to the spiral cable sub-assembly.


      • When rotating the spiral cable sub-assembly, make sure to push on the interlock to release the interlock.

      • Do not turn the spiral cable sub-assembly using the airbag wire harness.

      • Do not forcibly rotate the part.

        B002C8N Counterclockwise

        While pushing on the interlock indicated in the illustration. Make sure to rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise slowly by hand until it stops.

        Note

        Make sure to rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise. If rotated clockwise, it may be damaged or centering may no longer be possible.

        Tech Tips

        The interlock operates at the top and bottom of the connector.

      2. B002E62

        If the spiral cable sub-assembly stops rotating and the connector has moved past the bottom, return the connector to the bottom as shown in the illustration.

        B002EJY Interlock
        B002C8N Clockwise

        While pushing on the interlock, rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly clockwise approximately 2.5 times to move the connector from the bottom to the top.

        Note

        If the connector is rotated clockwise from the bottom 5 times or more, the spiral cable sub-assembly may be damaged.

        Tech Tips

        The interlock operates at the top and bottom of the connector.

      4. Check that the spiral cable sub-assembly is center position.

        OK
        The connector is at the top.
        The matchmarks are aligned.
        The top of the flat cable U-turn can be checked from the check window.

        Note

        If the spiral cable sub-assembly cannot be centered, it is possible that the spiral cable sub-assembly is broken. Replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one.

  2. INSTALL SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY

    Note


    • Do not replace the spiral cable with the battery connected and the engine switch on (IG).

    • Do not rotate the spiral cable with the battery connected and the engine switch on (IG).

    • Ensure that the steering wheel is installed and aligned straight when inspecting the steering sensor.


    1. Check that the engine switch is off.

    2. Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      CAUTION:


      • B002DW2

        Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

      • If the airbag deploys for any reason, it may cause a serious accident.

    3. Check that the front wheels are facing straight ahead.

    4. B002D7C

      Engage the claws to install the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly.

      Note

      When replacing the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with a new one, remove the lock pin before installing the steering wheel assembly.

    5. Connect the connectors.

    6. B002EJCC04
      *a Slider

      Connect the airbag connector and check that the slider is in the lock position.

      Note

      When connecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

  4. TURN FRONT WHEELS TO FACE STRAIGHT AHEAD

  5. ADJUST SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY

    Note

    Do not adjust the spiral cable with the battery connected and the engine switch on (IG).


    1. Check that the engine switch is off.

    2. Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      CAUTION:


      • B002DW2

        Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

      • If the airbag deploys for any reason, it may cause a serious accident.
