INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • When installing the spiral cable sub-assembly and steering wheel, be sure to adjust the spiral cable sub-assembly as it may break if the steering wheel is turned before adjusting the spiral cable sub-assembly Click here.

  • After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Click here.

  • When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal while performing repairs, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.

Tech Tips

To perform the simulation method, enter check mode (signal check) with the intelligent tester Click here, and then wiggle each connector of the airbag system or drive the vehicle on various types of roads Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HORN BUTTON ASSEMBLY (DRIVER SIDE SQUIB)


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait at least 90 seconds.

    3. Disconnect the connector from the horn button assembly.

    4. Connect the white wire of SST (resistance: 2.1 Ω) to connector E (orange connector).

      CAUTION:

      Never connect the tester to the horn button assembly for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.

      Note


      • Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting SST.

      • Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.
