Inspection

Driver Airbag (DAB)

If any improper parts are found during the following inspection, replace the airbag module with a new one.

Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.

1. | Check pad cover for dents, cracks or deformities.

2. | Check the airbag module for denting, cracking or deformation.

3. | Check hooks and connectors for damage, terminals for deformities, and harness for binds.

4. | Check airbag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformities.

5. | Install the airbag module to the steering wheel to check for fit or alignment with the wheel.

Clock Spring

1. | If, as a result of the following checks, even one abnormal point is discovered, replace the clock spring with a new one.

2. | Check connectors and protective tube for damage, and terminals for deformities.

Installation

1. | Remove the ignition key from the vehicle.

2. | Disconnect the battery negative cable from battery and wait for at least three minutes before beginning work.

3. | Connect the clock spring harness connector and horn harness connector to the clock spring.

4. | Set the center position by setting the marks between the clock spring and the cover into line. The mark (▶◀) should be matched by turning the clock spring clockwise to the stop and then 3.0 revolutions counterclockwise.

5. | Install the steering wheel column shroud and the steering wheel. (Refer to the Steering System group- Steering Column and Shaft)

6. | Connect the Driver Airbag (DAB) module connector and horn connector, and then install the Driver Airbag (DAB) module on the steering wheel.

7. | Connect the battery negative cable.

8. | After installing the airbag, confirm proper system operation:

A. | Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.

B. | Make sure horn button works.
