(5) Warning labels must be heeded when servicing or handling SRS components. Warning labels
are located in the following locations.
Sun visor
l Glove box
. S R S - E C U
l Steering wheel
l Air bag module
l Clock spring
l Steering gear and linkage clamp
(6) Store components removed from the SRS
a clean and dry place.
The air bag module should be stored on a flat surfa ce and placed so that the pad surface is’
facing upward.
Do not place anything on top of it.

.,
including operations not directly related to the SR S air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts do not allow any impact or shock to the SRS components.
(2) SRS components should not be subjected to heat over so remove the SRS compo-
nents before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
After re-installing them, check the SRS warning lig ht operation to make sure that the system
functions properly.
SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. Note the following before proceeding with work o n the

17. BRAKE HOSES (Check for
leaks)
Check of brake hoses and tubing should be
brake service operations.
The hoses should be checked for:
1.Correct length, severe surface cracking, pulling, scuffing
or worn spots. (If the fabric casing of the hoses i s exposed
by cracks of abrasion in the rubber hose cover, the hoses
should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of may
occur with possible bursting failure.)
2. Faulty installation, casing twisting or interfer ence
wheel,’ tire or chassis.
18. BALL JOINT AND STEERING SEALS
(Check for grease leaks damage)
1. These components, which are permanently lubricat ed
at the factory, do not require periodic lubrication. Damaged
seals and boots should be replaced to prevent leakage
or contamination of the grease.
2.Check the dust cover and boots for proper sealing, leakage
and damage. Replace them if defective.
19. DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS (Check for leaks
and damage)

for damage, and terminals for deformities.

G E N E R A L Maintenance
Protective tube
harness
6. Check clock spring connectors and protective tube for

7. Visually check the clock spring case for damage.
8.Align the mating mark of the clock spring and, afte r turning
the vehicle’s front wheels to
position, install
the clock spring to the column switch.
Mating mark alignment
Turn the clock spring fully clockwise, and turn bac k it
approx. 3 and
turns 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 op-
eration of the SRS and possibly leading to serious
injury to the vehicle’s driver and passenger.
9. Install the steering column covers, steering whe el and
the air bag module.
10. Check steering wheel for noise, binds of diffic ult operation.
11. Check steering wheel for excessive free play.
