    4. 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.


      1. A003DKO

        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.
