Service Precautions
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
FOLLOWED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY SURFACE MAY CONTAIN A SMALL
AMOUNT OF SODIUM HYDROXIDE, A BY–PRODUCT
OF THE DEPLOYMENT REACTION, THAT IS
IRRITATING TO THE SKIN AND EYES. MOST OF THE
POWER ON THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY IS
HARMLESS. AS A PRECAUTION, WEAR GLOVES
AND SAFETY GLASSES WHEN HANDLING A
DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, AND WASH YOUR
HANDS WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER
AFTERWARDS.
WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG AND TRIM
COVER ARE POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. NEVER
CARRY AIR BAG ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR
CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF MODULE. IN
THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE
BAG WILL THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE
OF INJURY. WHEN PLACING ALIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY ON A BENCH OR OTHER SURFACE,
ALWAYS FACE BAG AND RIM COVER UP, AWAY
FROM THE SURFACE. NEVER REST A STEERING
COLUMN ASSEMBLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL
WITH THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY FACE DOWN AND
COLUMN VERTICAL. THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT
A FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY
EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT.
OTHERWISE, PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.NOTE: In the event deployment has occurred, inspect
coil assembly wire for any signs of scorching, melting or
any other damage due to excessive heat. If the coil has
been damaged, replace it.
Removal
1. Disable the SRS (Refer to “Disabling the SRS ” in this
section).
2. Loosen the air bag assembly fixing bolts from behind
the steering wheel assembly using a TORX
d r i v e r o r
equivalent until the air bag assembly can be released
from steering wheel.

3. Disconnect the yellow 2–pin connector located
behind the air bag assembly and remove air bag
assembly.Refer to “SRS Connectors” in this section
for removal and installation.

4. Disconnect horn lead connector.
5. Remove the steering wheel attachment nut.
6. Apply a setting mark across the steering wheel and
shaft so parts can be reassembled in their original
position.

7. Move the tires to the straight ahead position before
removing the steering wheel and removing wheel with
5–8521–0016–0.

8. Feed wiring though the wheel and remove wheel.
9. Remove the steering lower cover and engine hood
opening lever.
10. Remove the driver knee bolster assembly.
740RT015
11. Remove the steering column cover.
12. Remove air conditioning lower duct.
13. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors located at
the base of steering column.
CAUTION: Never apply force to the steering wheel
in direction of the shaft by using a hammer or other
impact tools in an attempt to remove the steering
wheel. The steering shaft is designed as an energy
absorbing unit.
14. Remove the combination switch assembly with SRS
coil.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM9J–47
12. Install steering column cover.
CAUTION: When installing the steering column
cover, be sure to wire (through each harness) as
illustrated so that the harness starter switch,
combination switch and SRS coil may not catch
wiring.

13. Install the steering wheel and align the setting marks.
430RS004
14. Tighten the steering wheel fixing nut to the specified
torque.
Torque: 34 Nꞏm (3.5 Kgꞏm/25 Ib ft)15. Connect horn lead.
16. Connect air bag wiring harness connector.
NOTE: Pass the lead wire through the tabs on the plastic
cover (wire protector) of air bag to prevent lead wire from
being pinched.
827RT009
17. Install air bag into steering wheel and tighten bolts to
specified sequence as shown in figure.
Torque: 8 Nꞏm (0.8 Kgꞏm/69 Ib in)
CAUTION: Never use the air bag assembly from
another vehicle. Use only the air bag assembly
proper to the Trooper which is being repaired.

18. Enable the SRS (Refer to “Enabling the SRS” in this
section).

ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
No Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
D06RW00006
Circuit Description
The “Check Engine” lamp (MIL) should always be
illuminated and steady with the ignition “ON” and the
engine stopped. Ignition feed voltage is supplied to the
MIL bulb through the meter fuse. The powertrain control
module (PCM) turns the MIL “ON” by grounding the MIL
driver circuit.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent MIL may be cased by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:
Inspect the PCM harness and connections for
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection,
and damaged harness.
If the engine runs OK, check for a faulty light bulb, an
open in the MIL driver circuit, or an open in the
instrument cluster ignition feed.
If the engine cranks but will not run, check for an open
PCM ignition or battery feed, or a poor PCM to engine
ground.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. A “No MIL” condition accompanied by a no-start
condition suggests a faulty PCM ignition feed or
battery feed circuit.
9. Using a test light connected to B+, probe each of the
PCM ground terminals to ensure that a good ground
is present. Refer to
PCM Terminal End View for
terminal locations of the PCM ground circuits.
12.In this step, temporarily substitute a known good
relay for the PCM relay. The horn relay is nearby,
and it can be verified as “good” simply by honking
the horn. Replace the horn relay after completing
this step.

Circuit Description
The “Check Engine” lamp (MIL) should always be

engine stopped. Ignition feed voltage is supplied to the
MIL bulb through the meter fuse. The Engine Control
Module ECM turns the MIL “ON” by grounding the MIL

Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent MIL may be cause by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:
Inspect the ECM harness and connections for
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire
connection, and damaged harness.
If the engine runs OK, check for a faulty light bulb, an
open in the MIL driver circuit, or an open in the

If the engine cranks but will not run, check for an open
ECM ignition or battery feed, or a poor ECM to engine
ground.
Test Description
