Inspection Procedure
HINT.
- Perform the simulation method by selecting the Check Mode (Signal Check) using the Techstream (See CHECK MODE PROCEDURE ).
- After selecting the Check Mode (Signal Check), perform the simulation method by wiggling each connector of the airbag system or driving the vehicle on a city or rough road (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).
- CHECK CONNECTORS
- Turn the engine switch off.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Check that the connectors are properly connected to the steering pad, spiral cable and center airbag sensor assembly
OK: The connectors are properly connected.
HINT:
If the connectors are not connected securely, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection
- Disconnect the connectors from the steering pad, spiral cable and center airbag sensor assembly.
- Check that the terminals of the connectors are not damaged
OK: The terminals are not deformed or damaged.
- Check that the spiral cable connector (on the steering pad side) is not damaged.
OK: The lock button is not disengaged, and the claw of the lock is not deformed or damaged.
- Check that the short springs for the instrument panel wire and spiral cable with the activation prevention mechanism are not deformed or damaged
OK: The short springs are not deformed or damaged.
NG: REPLACE WIRE HARNESS
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK STEERING PAD (DRIVER SIDE SQUIB 2ND STEP)
- Connect the instrument panel wire to the center airbag sensor assembly and spiral cable
- Connect SST (resistance 2 1 Ω) to connector E (black connector).CAUTION: Never connect the tester to the steering pad (driver side squib 2nd step) for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.NOTE:
- Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting.
- Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.
SST 09843-18061
