!@@ store a .emove airbag assambly with thepad surtace up. lf the airbag is improperly stored face
down, accidental deploymont could propel the unit withenough force to cause sorious iniury.
CAUTION:
. Alwsys disconnect the airbag connoctor(s) when ih€harness is disconngcted.
. Do not disassemble or tamper with the airbag.
NOTE: Carefully inspect the airbag assembly beforeinstalling it. Do not install an airbag that shows signs ofbeing dropped or improperly handled. such as dents,cracks or deformation.
l.Disconnect the battery negative cable. then discon-nect the positive cable from the battery, and wait atleast three minutes.
Remove the access panel from the steering wheel,then disconnect the 2P connector between the driv-er's airbag and cable reel.
NOTE: When disconnected, the airbag connector isautomatically shorted.

NOTE:
. Before installing the steering wheel, the front
wheels should be aligned straight ahead.. Be sure to install the harness wires so that theyare not pinched or interfering with other parts.. After reassembly. confirm that the wheels arestill turned straight ahead and that the steeringwheel spoke angle is correct (road test). lf minor
spoke angle adjustment is necessary, do so onlyby adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing andrepositioning the steering wheel.
Set the cancel sleeve so that the projections arealigned venically.

Install the steering column covers.
lf necessary, center the cable reel. {New replacementcable reels come centered.) Do this by first rotating thecable reel clockwise until it stops. Then rotate tt counterclockwise (approximately two and a half turns) untilthe arrow mark on the cable reel label points straightup.

STEERING WHEELCRUISE CONTROLSET/RESUM€

- How the Circuit Works
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) prevents locking
of the wheels as a result of heavy braking and/or
poor lraction. A vehicle with locked wheels cannot
be steered. The anti-lock brake system controls the
application of the brakes, allowing the driver to
maintain control of the steering.
Under anti-lock conditions, the antilock brake
system (ABS) modulates the pressure of the brake
tluid to each brake caliper. This system is a four
channel system: the pressure at each caliper is
controlled independently of the pressure al any
other caliper. Whenever a wheel is likely to lock
dunng braking, the anti-lock brake system
modulates the brake oressure at that wheel. When
the brake pressure is reduced to the point where
there is no longer any possibility of wheel locking,
the system returns to the conventional braking
system mode of operation.
Battery voltage is applied at all times through fuse
63 to the ABS control unit. When the ignition switch
is in ON (ll), battery voltage is supplied to the
control unit through fuse 16. The control unit is case
grounded. Inputs are received from the brake switch
and the individual wheel sensors located at each
wheel. The ABS control unit uses these inputs to
control the modulator solenoid unit. The solenoids
adjust the hydraulic pressure applied to each
calioer.
The ABS control unit has a self-diagnosis function.
When the control unit detects a fault, it turns on the"ABS" indicator and disables the anti-lock brake
system. lf the fault is not in the conventional braking
system, the brakes will continue to operate normally
but without the anti-lock feature.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section '19,
Anti-Lock Brake System) for specific tests or
troubleshooting procedures.
