SPIRAL CABLE INSTALLATION


  1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE 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 colored roller or the top of the flat cable U-turn can be checked from the check window.

      *c Colored Roller *d Top of Flat Cable U-turn

    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.


      1. A003ICB

        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.

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

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

    4. Set the turn signal switch to the neutral position.

      Note

      If it is not in the neutral position, the turn signal switch cancel ratchet may snap.

    5. Attach the 3 claws to install the spiral cable sub-assembly.

    6. Connect the connectors to the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      Note

      When handling the airbag connector, do not damage the airbag wire harness.
