PROCEDURE
REMOVE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY
ALIGN FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD
INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY
| *A | w/o Heated Steering System and Pre-collision System |
| *B | w/ Heated Steering System or Pre-collision System |
| *C | Flat Cable Type |
| *D | Colored Roller Type |
| *a | Flat Cable |
| *b | Colored Roller |
Check the colored roller or flat cable shown in the illustration.
If the colored roller or flat cable shown in the illustration cannot be confirmed, it is possible that the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is broken. Replace the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with a new one.
REMOVE STEERING COLUMN COVER
REMOVE SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY
Note
Do not replace the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with the auxiliary battery connected and the power switch on (IG).
Do not rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly without the steering wheel assembly with the auxiliary battery connected and the power switch on (IG).
Ensure that the steering wheel assembly is installed and aligned straight when inspecting the steering sensor.
Check that the power switch is off.
Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal to disable the SRS system.
Check that the front wheels are facing straight ahead.
| *a | Slider |
Slide the slider to release the lock, and then disconnect the yellow airbag connector from the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly.
Note
When disconnecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
Disconnect the other connectors from the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly.
Disengage the 3 claws to remove the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly.
REMOVE SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Note
Remove the spiral cable sub-assembly from the steering sensor only when replacing it or the steering sensor.
Removing the steering sensor from the spiral cable sub-assembly without using a lock pin may result in a misaligned center position of the steering sensor. Therefore, make sure to use the lock pin provided with a new spiral cable sub-assembly when removing the steering sensor from the spiral cable sub-assembly.
When replacing the steering sensor:
Install the lock pin to the steering sensor.
Note
Use the lock pin provided with a new spiral cable sub-assembly.
Do not remove the lock pin before the spiral cable sub-assembly is installed to the steering sensor.
Disengage the 6 claws and 2 pins, and remove the spiral cable sub-assembly from the steering sensor.
Note
Do not damage the claws and pins of the spiral cable sub-assembly.
