CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notice before proceeding with work Click here.

  • When installing the spiral cable and steering wheel, be sure to adjust the spiral cable as it may break if the steering wheel is turned before adjusting the spiral cable Click here.

  • When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal while performing repairs, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.

  • After replacing the center airbag sensor, refer to initialization Click here.

Tech Tips

To perform the simulation method, enter check mode (signal check) with the intelligent tester (See page ), and then wiggle each connector of the airbag system or drive the vehicle on various types of road Click here.

    4. Connect the white wire side of SST (resistance: 2.1 Ω) to connector E (orange connector).

      CAUTION:

      Never connect the tester to the steering pad (driver side squib) for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.

      Note


      • Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting SST.

      • Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.
