5. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. Check that the front wheels are facing straight ahead.

   2. Check that the spiral with sensor 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.

      Note

      If the result is not as specified, it is possible that the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly is broken. Replace it with a new one.

8. REMOVE SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

   Note

   
   

   • Do not replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the ignition switch ON.

   • Do not rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the ignition switch ON.

   • When rotating the spiral cable sub-assembly to check the operation of the sub-assembly (checking for abnormal noise, checking the Data List, etc.), make sure to perform the inspection with the steering wheel assembly installed.

   
   

   1. 

      *a	Slider
      	Slide in this Direction

      Slide the slider to release the lock, and then disconnect the airbag connector.

      Note

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

   2. Disconnect each connector.

   3. 

      Detach the claw and remove the spiral cable sub-assembly.

9. REMOVE SPIRAL CABLE (w/ Steering Sensor)

   Note

   
   

   • Remove the spiral cable from the steering sensor only when replacing it.

   • 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 when removing the steering sensor from the spiral cable sub-assembly.

   
   

   1. 

      Install the lock pin to the steering sensor.

      Note

      
      

      • Use the lock pin provided with a new spiral cable.

      • Do not remove the lock pin before the spiral cable is installed to the steering sensor.

   2. 

      Detach the 6 claws and remove the spiral cable from the steering sensor.
