AIR BAG MODULES, STEERING WHEEL AND CLOCK
SPRING AND SEAT BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER
1. Remove the air bag modules, steering wheel and clock
spring. (Refer to P.52B-52.)
Caution
The removed air bag modules should be stored in
a clean, dry place with the cover face up.
2. Check cover for dents, cracks or deformation.
3. Check connector for damage, terminals deformities, and
harness for binds.
4. Check air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformities.
5. Check harness and connectors for damage, and terminals
for deformation.
6. Check clock spring connectors and protective tube for
damage, and terminals for deformation.
7. Visually check the clock spring case for damage.
8. Align the mating marks of the clock spring and, after
turning the vehicle’s front wheels to straight-ahead
position, install the clock spring to the column switch.
Mating Mark Alignment
Turn the clock spring clockwise fully, and then turn back
it approx. 3 times counterclockwise to align the mating
marks.
Caution
If the clock spring’s mating mark is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not be completely
rotational during a turn, or the flat cable within the
clock spring may be severed, obstructing normal
operation of the SRS and possibly leading to serious
injury to the vehicle’s driver or front passenger.
9. Install the steering column covers, steering wheel and
the air bag module.
10. Check steering wheel for noise, binds of difficult operation.
11. Check steering wheel for excessive free play.Inflator
