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. INSTALL 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.

      *A Colored Roller (Visible Type) *B Flat Cable (Visible Type), w/o Steering Heater
      *C Flat Cable (Visible Type), w/ Steering Heater *D for Type A
      *E for Type B - -
      *a Check Window *b Matchmark
      *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.


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

      • Do not forcibly rotate the part.


      1. B001XX2C01
        B001XPG Counterclockwise

        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.

      2. B001ZNW

        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.

      3. B001YI3C01
        B001XPG Clockwise

        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.

      4. 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 Flat Cable (Visible Type), w/ Steering Heater *D for Type A
        *E for Type B - -
        *a Check Window *b Matchmark
        *c Colored Roller *d Top of Flat Cable U-turn

        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

    Note

    If the steering sensor is installed to a misaligned spiral cable, DTCs for an abnormal steering sensor value such as DTC C1290, C1439 are stored and it is impossible to repair them. If this happens, replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one.


    1. B001YEAC04
      *a Pin

      Align the 2 pins of the spiral cable with the locations shown in the illustration and attach the 6 claws to install the spiral cable to the steering sensor.

      Note

      Do not remove the lock pin before the spiral cable is installed to the steering sensor.

    2. Remove the lock pin from the steering sensor.

  3. INSTALL SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

    Note


    • Do not replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with sensor with the battery connected and the engine switch on.

    • Do not rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly with sensor with the battery connected and the engine switch on.

    • When rotating the spiral cable sub-assembly with sensor to check the operation of the spiral cable sub-assembly (checking for abnormal noise, checking the DTC, Data list, etc.) make sure to perform the inspection with the steering wheel assembly installed.

    • If the steering sensor is installed to a misaligned spiral cable, DTCs for an abnormal steering sensor value such as DTC C1231, C1290 are stored and it is impossible to repair them. If this happens, replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with sensor with a new one.

    • B001X9PC06
      B001XPG Lock Pin

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


    1. Check that the engine 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.

    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 each connector.

      Note

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

  4. ADJUST SPIRAL CABLE


    1. Check that the ignition switch is off.

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

      CAUTION:

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

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

      OK
