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


    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 (Visible Type) - -
      *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 .


      • 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.

        B001CHY Counterclockwise

        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.

      2. B001GJU

        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. B001I19C01
        B001FGK Interlock
        B001CHY Counterclockwise

        While pushing on the interlock, 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.

        Tech Tips

        The interlock operates at the top and bottom of the connector.

    3. 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

      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 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.

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

      CAUTION:

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

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

      Note

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