SPIRAL CABLE INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.

  • The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

    Note

    If the steering sensor is installed to a misaligned spiral cable, DTCs for an abnormal steering sensor value such as DTC C1433 is stored and it is impossible to repair them. If this happens, replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one.

      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.


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

      • Do not forcibly rotate the part.


      1. A004MXZ

        Make sure to rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise slowly by hand until it stops.

        CAUTION:

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

    3. A004N2O

      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.

    4. A004PXJ

      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.

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

      Tech Tips

      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 SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Attach the 3 claws and install the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      Note

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

  5. ADJUST SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Check that the ignition switch is off.

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

      CAUTION:

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