260(4) Check the installation status of the airbag assembly.
4. Driver airbag assembly (see the figure below)
5. Clock spring (see the figure on the right)
(1) Check the union joint and protecting tube for damage and the
terminal for distortion.
(2) Check the case for distortion.
6. Steering wheel, steering column and steering lower shaft component.
(1) Check the installation status of driver airbag assembly.
(2) Check the steering wheel for any abnormal noise and see if the
clearance is normal.
7. Check the wire harness joint (instrument panel wire harness).
8. Check and see if the wire harness is securely installed, if the joint is damaged and if the terminal is
distorted.NOTICE
1. Work must be started 60s after the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from battery. The
disconnected negative (-) terminal cable shall be protected with insulating tape for insulation.
2. Airbag assembly and clock spring shall not be removed or repaired. They shall be replaced if there is
any trouble.
3. Pay enough attention to airbag assembly and clock spring when using, avoiding dropping them onto the
ground or into water or oil. In addition, if there is any pitting, crack or distortion on them, replace with
new ones.
4. When an airbag is deployed, the deployed surface should face up. It should be kept on a flat surface
without any other items on it.
5. Don’t keep an airbag in a place where the temperature is higher than 93°C.
6. When an airbag is deployed, it shall be replaced with a new one; simultaneously, check the clock spring,
and replace it with a new one if found abnormal.
7. When deal with the deployed airbag, gloves and protective glasses are to be used.
8. When scrapping the undeployed airbag, it shall be discarded after being deployed.GeneratorBracketDriver Side Clock SpringTo HornTo Driver Module

261IV. WARNING MARKSWhen using or maintaining an airbag, the warnings shall be indicated. When maintaining, proceed in accor-
dance with the description of mark. In addition, if the mark is damaged or stained, it shall be replaced.

2635. Check:
1 ECU case for pitting, crack and distortion.
2 The joint for damage and distortion.
For other ECU checkings, see Troubleshooting.II. AIRBAG ASSEMBLY & CLOCK SPRING1. Operations prior to removal
(1) Take out the ignition key after the steering wheel and front wheel are adjusted to straightforward direction.
(2) Remove negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
2. Removal procedures of the driver airbag assembly:
(1) Unscrew the screws of the two sides.
(2) Disconnect the connector of the wire harness.
(3) Remove the components of airbag assembly.
(4) Remove steering wheel.
3. Removal procedures of clock spring:
(1) Remove the driver airbag assembly (disconnect the connector).
(2) Remove steering wheel gently (see the precautions).
(3) Open the upper closure of the combination switch, locate and
disconnect the connector of wire harness in the lower end.
(4) Remove clock spring from the steering wheel.
4. Installation procedures of the driver airbag assembly
(1) Pre-Check
ySteering wheel
yConnect the wire harness
yDriver airbag assembly
(2) Screw up the installation screws of the two sides.
(3) Connection of the negative (-) terminal of the battery
(4) Check after installation.NOTICE
If pitting, crack or distortion is found on an ECU, replace it with a new one.NOTICE
Put the removed driver airbag
assembly upside down in a clean
and dry place for care.NOTICE
Put the removed clock spring in
a clean and dry place for care.

2645. Installation procedures of clock spring:
(1) Pre-Check
yThread the line at the upper end of the clock spring through hole on the body part of the steering
wheel
yConnection and fixation of the clock spring and steering wheel
(2) Install the upper hood of the combination switch
(3) Install the steering wheel
(4) Install the airbag assembly components
(5) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable of the battery
(6) Check after installation
6. Removal of steering wheel (see the figure below)
(1) Remove the installation screws from the middle and remove the steering wheel.(Disconnect the horn
connector)
NOTICE:
Due to the tight engagement of the spline and the steering column, it is hard to separate the steering wheel
from the column. Don't try to remove the steering wheel by force (otherwise the clock spring under the
steering wheel will be damaged). The correct way is to turn the nut on the steering column shaft end for
several pitchs and then lift the steering wheel upward.Use Allen
Key Socket

265III. KEY POINTS FOR INSTALLATION1. Pre-Check
(1) The new airbag or clock spring shall be checked before being installed.
(2) Connect negative (-) terminal cable of the battery.
(3) Connect Hi-DS T to the diagnostic interface (16 connector).
(4) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(5) Read the diagnostic circuit and see if the other locations than the troubled area of the airbag are normal.
(6) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(7) Remove the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and protect it with insulating tape for insulation.
2. Installation of clock spring: align the clock spring and install it to the
steering wheel.
yCenter alignment of the clock spring
Screw up the clock spring clockwise to the end, rotate it counterclock-
wise by 2.5 turns, and align it with the mark (see the figure below).
3. Install the components of the steering wheel and airbag assembly
(1) When the center of the clock spring is aligned, install the components of the steering wheel and airbag
assembly.
(2) After being installed, rotate the left and right sides of the steering wheel to position, and make sure there
is no abnormality.NOTICEIn case of scrapping an airbag, it shall be noted that the airbag shall be deployed according to the specifiedprocedures before being scrapped.
When connecting or disconnecting the Hi-DS T, turn the ignition switch OFF first.NOTICE:
Work must be started 60s after the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from battery.NOTICE:
If the center of the clock spring cannot be aligned, the steering wheel
will not turn midway, or cause bad performance to the clock spring
circuit, consequently hamper the normal action of the airbag.NOTICEWhen installing the components of the steering wheel and airbag assembly, attention should be given toprotect the wire harness of the clock spring from seizure.

2664. Check after installation
(1) Slightly rotate the steering wheel left and right, make sure that there is no abnormality or noise. (Driver
airbag module, clock spring)
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) The warning light goes on within 6s, and then goes out.
(4) The trouble shall be eliminated if the warning light remains on when the ignition switch is turned on or
after it goes out after 6s.IV. CHECKING1. Driver airbag assembly checking
Check the following items and replace the related components of the airbag assembly if any badness is
found. The old components shall be deployed before scrapping.
(1) Check the hood for pitting, crack, distortion, etc.
(2) Check the joint of the wire harness for damage and the terminal for distortion.
(3) Check the case of the gas generator for pitting, crack and distortion.
(4) Check the installation status of the airbag assembly.
2. Check the clock spring
Check the following items, and replace the clock spring if any badness is found.
(1) Check the joint and protecting tube for damage and the terminal for distortion.
(2) Check the case for damage.
(3) Check and see if the joint terminal at the upper end of the clock spring are in conduction with that at the
lower end.
(4) A thin probe shall be inserted from the back of the yellow connector of the clock spring.NOTICE
If there is pitting, crack or distortion, replace the airbag assembly with new one. The old components of the
airbag shall be deployed before scrapping.
The circuit resistance of the airbag assembly (squib) cannot be measured even with a designated tester.Since there is current flowing in the squib, when a tester is involved in measuring the resistance, sometimesthe airbag is unexpectedly deployed in case of static electricity, leading to serious accident.
