SPIRAL CABLE INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.

  • The procedures listed below are for RHD vehicles.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. 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 Check Window *b Matchmark
      *c Top of Flat Cable U-turn - -

    2. 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.


      1. B003R4QC02
        B003NOZ Interlock
        B003OFB 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.

      2. B003SC2

        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.

      3. B003R4KC01
        B003NOZ Interlock
        B003OFB Clockwise

        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.

      4. 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.

  2. INSTALL SPIRAL CABLE (w/ Steering Sensor)

    Note

    If the steering sensor is installed to a misaligned spiral cable sub-assembly, DTCs for an abnormal steering sensor value such as DTC C1433 are stored and it is impossible to repair them. If this happens, replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one.


    1. B003PAXC01
      *a Pin
      *b Guide
      *c Lock Pin

      Align the 2 pins and 2 guides of the spiral cable with the locations shown in the illustration and attach the 6 claws to install the spiral cable to the steering sensor.

      Note


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

      • Do not damage the pins of the spiral cable sub-assembly or guides of the steering sensor.

      • The spiral cable sub-assembly can be rotated up to 30° even when the interlock is engaged. Therefore, make sure that both guides are aligned properly when installing the spiral cable sub-assembly to the steering sensor.

    2. Remove the lock pin from the steering sensor.

  3. INSTALL SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

    Note


    • Do not replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the ignition switch on (IG).

    • Do not rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the ignition switch on (IG).

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

    • If the steering sensor is installed to a misaligned spiral cable sub-assembly, DTCs for an abnormal steering sensor value such as DTC C1433 are stored and it is impossible to repair them. If this happens, replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one.


    1. Check that the ignition switch is off.

    2. 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.

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

    4. Attach the claw to install the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      Note

      When replacing the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one, remove the lock pin before installing the steering wheel assembly.

    5. Connect each connector.

      Note

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

    6. B003S7QC01
      *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 cable sub-assembly terminals and connector housings for deformation or foreign matter, and then reconnect the airbag connector.
