PROCEDURE


  1. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD

  2. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY

    Note

    When the following conditions cannot be checked via the check window with the front wheels facing straight ahead, there may be a malfunction in the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly. In this case, replace the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with a new one.


    1. A01MFRFC02
      *a Check Window
      *b U-turn point

      Check the check window shown in the illustration.

      Tech Tips

      With the steering wheel straight ahead, align the matchmarks to check the U-turn point of the cable from the check window.

    2. If the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is not centered, center it.

      Note


      • When rotating the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly, make sure to push on the interlock indicated in the illustration to release the interlock mechanism.

      • Do not turn the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly using the airbag wire harness.


      1. A01MJ11C02
        *1 INTERLOCK
        B006JEG Counterclockwise

        While pushing on the interlock indicated in the illustration, rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly counterclockwise slowly by hand until stops.

      2. A01MHTWC02
        *a Check Window
        *b U-turn point
        B006JEG Clockwise

        While pushing on the interlock indicated in the illustration, rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly 2.5 times clockwise from the lock position.

        Tech Tips

        The spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly will rotate approximately 2.5 times turns to both the left and right from the center.

      3. Check the check window shown in the illustration. With the steering wheel straight ahead, align the U-turn point to check from the check window. If the cable cannot be centered, 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.

  3. INSTALL SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY

    Note


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

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


    1. Check that the power switch is off.

    2. 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.

      • If the airbag deploys for any reason, it may cause a serious accident.

    3. Set the turn signal switch to the neutral position.

    4. A01MGR2C01
      B006JFV Install in this Direction

      Engage the claws to install the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly as shown in the illustration.

    5. Connect each connectors.

    6. A01MHY4C01
      *1 Lock Slider
      *a Lock Position

      Connect the airbag connector and check that the slider is in the lock slider.

      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 Engage the claws to install the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly as shown in the illustration. terminals and connector housing for deformation or foreign matter, and then reconnect the airbag connector.

  7. INSPECT AND ADJUST SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY

    Note


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

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


    1. Check that the power switch is off.

    2. 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. If the airbag deploys for any reason, it may cause a serious accident.

    3. A01MJX3C01
      *a Check Window
      *b U-turn point

      Check the check window shown in the illustration. With the steering wheel straight ahead, check the U-turn point of the cable from the check window.

      Tech Tips

      When the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is centered, The connector is at the top and the U-turn point can be checked from the check window.

    4. If the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is not centered, center it.

      Note


      • When rotating the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly, make sure to push on the interlock indicated in the illustration to release the interlock mechanism.

      • Do not turn the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly using the airbag wire harness.
