CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.
The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.
PROCEDURE
INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Check that the spiral cable sub-assembly is center position.
| OK |
|---|
| The connector is at the top. |
| The matchmarks are aligned. |
| The top of the flat cable U-turn can be checked from the check window. |
| *A | w/o Steering Heater | *B | w/ Steering Heater |
| *a | Check Window | *b | Matchmark |
| *c | Top of Flat Cable U-turn | - | - |
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.
|
Interlock |
|
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.
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.
|
Interlock |
|
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.
Check that the spiral cable sub-assembly is center position.
| OK |
|---|
| The connector is at the top. |
| The matchmarks are aligned. |
| The top of the flat cable U-turn can be checked from the check window. |
| *A | w/o Steering Heater | *B | w/ Steering Heater |
| *a | Check Window | *b | Matchmark |
| *c | 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.
INSTALL STEERING SENSOR
INSTALL SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Note
Do not replace the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the engine switch on (IG).
Do not rotate the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the engine switch on (IG).
Check that the engine switch is off.
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.
If the airbag deploys for any reason, it may cause a serious accident.
Check that the front wheels are facing straight ahead.
Attach the claw to install the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly.
Note
When replacing the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly with a new one, remove the lock pin before installing the steering wheel assembly.
Connect each connector.
Note
When connecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
| *a | Slider |
| *b | Lock Position |
Connect the airbag connector and check that the slider is in the lock position.
Tech Tips
If the slider is not in the lock position, the airbag connector is not completely connected. Disconnect the airbag connector, check the airbag connector and spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly terminals and connector housings for deformation or foreign matter, and then reconnect the airbag connector.
INSTALL UPPER STEERING COLUMN COVER
INSTALL LOWER STEERING COLUMN COVER
PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD
ADJUST SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Check that the engine switch is off.
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.
If the airbag deploys for any reason, it may cause a serious accident.
| *A | w/o Steering Heater |
