Precautions/Procedu res
Steering-related Precautions
Stesring Wheel and Cable Reol Alignment
NOTE: To avoid misalignment of the steering wheel on
reassembly, make sure the wheels are turned straight
ahead before removing the steering wheel.
Rotate the cable reel clockwise until it stops.
Then rotate it counterclockwise {approximately two and
a half turns) until the arrow mark on the cable reel label
points straight up.

St€€rin9 Column Removal
CAUTION:
. Eefore removing thg stggring column. disconnect the
connsstor bqtween the cable r€el and th€ SRS msin
harness.
. lf the stoering column is going to be romoved with-
out dismounting th6 stoering wheel, lock the steer-
ing by turning the ignition key to o-LOCK position, or
remove the key trom the ignition switch so that the
steering wheel will not turn.
NOTE:
When the airbag and cable reel are disconnected,
don't reconnect the battery cable. lf the battery is
reconnected and the ignition switch is turned ON (ll),
the SRS unit will store this as an open in the driver's
airbag inflator, and the SRS indicator light will come
on.
For disconnecting the spring-loaded lock type con-
nector, refer to page 24-'10.
SRS MAIN HARNESS2P CONNECTOR
Do not replace the original steering wheel with any other
design because it will make it impossible to properly
install the airbag (only use genuine Honda replacement
parts).
After reassembly, confirm the wheels are still turned
straight ahead and that the steering wheel spoke angle
is correct. lf minor spoke angle adjustment is necessary,
do so only by adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing
and repositioning the steering wheel.

Troubleshooting
t)
Self-diagnostic Procedures
The self-diagnostic function of the SRS system allows it to locate the causes of system problems and to store this informa' I
tion in memory. For easier troubleshooting, this data can be retrieved via a data link circuit l
. When you turn the ignition switch ON (ll), the SRS indicator will come on. ll it goes off after six seconds. the system is
norma l.
. lf there is an abnormality, the system locates and defines the problem, stores this information in memory, and turns
the sRS indicator light on. The data will remain in the memory even when the ignition switch is turned off or if the bat-
tery is disconnected.
o when you connect the scs service connector to the service check connector (2P), and turn the ignition switch oN (ll),

SRS unit; the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries
. Before you ,"n1ou" th" SRS main harness, disconnect the driver's airbag connector (and the front passenger's airbag
connector).
. Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged {see section 23}. lf the battery is dead or low, measuring valLles won t be
correct.
. Do not touch a tester probe to the terminals in the sRS unit or harness connectors, and do not connect the terminals
with a jumper wire. Use only the backprobe set or the special tools'
For backprobing spring-loaded lock type connectors, refer to page 24-9'
Reading the DTC
when the SRS indicator light is on, read the DTC using one of these methods:
A. Connect the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P Data Link Connector {DLC), and follow the tester's prompts lf the tester
