Diagnosis of impacted automobile
No matter whether the safety airbag has been unfolded, the inspection and maintenance for impacted auto-
mobile should be made by following sequence.
1. Check the ECU diagnostic signal.
(1) Connect the diagnostic joint of diagnostic tool,
(2) Use diagnostic tool to read the diagnostic result.
2. Repair sequence
Note: For the impact, when power supply of battery is lack, diagnostic tool could not communicate
with ECU, at this time, it is necessary to check and maintain the wiring harness of panel or use
exterior power supply.

Note: if ECU could not be assembled correctly, safety airbag will not work normally.
5. Inspection: referring to chapter 2.
6. Removing malfunction: referring to chapter 3.
3. Place the steering wheel and front wheels correctly
and make them face the front, and take out ignition
switch key, then do not operate it in 60 seconds af-
ter disassembling the cathode of battery.
4. Disassemble safety airbag assembly at the side of
driver:
(1) Guarantee the wheels face the front.
(2) Use 5s hexagon socket-head wrench to loosen the two plan-
etary bolts.

ing wheel is hard to disconnect from the column, at
this time, pay attention to do not disassemble the
steering wheel compulsively, it is necessary to
screw the screws on column, then lift the steering
wheel up (for steering wheel connects with helix
cable at its bottom, if disassembling steering wheel
compulsively, helix cable will be damaged).

(1) When assembling new helix cable, check whether the yel-
low fixed clamp on helix cable is good, if yellow clamp drops,
please adjust by the requirement on hint card of helix cable,
insure helix cable could turn left and right for 2.5 circles on
its existing fixed position.
(2) If finding following situations, it is necessary to change the
helix cable with new one.
a. There are some scratches or cracks on joint.
b. There are cracks, concaves or flaws on wiring harness
of helix cable.
10. Remove malfunction (referring to chapter 3).
11. Make the wheels face the front.
Note: it is necessary to make the front wheels face the
front, or the wires in helix cable might break in steer-
ing process.
12. Assemble helix cable:
(1) Inspection before assembling (referring to item 9).
(2) Set the steering light switch at middle position.
The pin of steering light switch may be broken, so it must
be confirmed whether the pin is at central position.
