SPIRAL CABLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Visually check for defects with the spiral cable sub-assembly removed from the vehicle.


      1. The defects are as follows:


        • Scratches on the spiral cable sub-assembly

        • Small cracks the spiral cable sub-assembly

        • Dents on the spiral cable sub-assembly

        • Chips on the spiral cable sub-assembly

        • Cracks or other damage to the connector

        OK
        No defects are found.

        Tech Tips

        If any of the defects is found, replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one.

      w/o Steering Heater:

      Check the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      Note

      As the spiral cable sub-assembly may break, do not rotate the spiral cable more than the specified amount.


      1. Set the spiral cable sub-assembly to the center position Click here.

      2. Measure the resistance between each terminal of the spiral cable sub-assembly according to the table below.

      3. After setting the spiral cable sub-assembly to the center position, rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly 2.5 times clockwise, and measure the resistance as shown. Then rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly 5 times counterclockwise, and measure the resistance as shown.

        Standard Resistance
        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        L22-1 - B2 Always Below 1 Ω
        L22-2 - B1
        L22-3 - A1
        L22-4 - A2
        L24-1 - L23-3
        L24-2 - z7-7
        L24-2 - L23-4
        L24-3 - z7-8
        L24-4 - z7-9
        L24-5 - z7-10
        L24-6 - z7-11
        L24-7 - z7-12
        L24-8 - L23-2
        L24-9 - z7-1
        L24-10 - z7-2
        L24-11 - z7-3
        L24-12 - z7-4
        L24-13 - z7-5
        L24-14 - z7-6

        If the value is not within the specified range, replace the spiral cable sub-assembly.

    3. w/ Steering Heater:

      Check the spiral cable sub-assembly.
