1) Secure the module with one bolt to relieve
weight on the connector wire.
2) Tighten bolts to specified sequence as figure.

3) Connect the yellow 2way SRS connector located
under the steering column.
4) Connect the battery ground cable.
5) Set ignition to "ON" while watching warning
light. Light should flash 7 times and then go off.

REMOVAL
Preparation:
1) Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels
are pointing straight ahead.
2) Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK".
3) Disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait at least
5 minutes.
4) Disconnect the yellow 2way SRS connector located
under the steering column. CAUTION:
Once the steering column is removed from the vehicle, the column is extremely suspectible to
damage. Dropping the column assembly on its end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen the
slide block which maintains column rigidity. Leaning on the column assembly could cause the jacket
to bend or deform. Any of the above damage could impair the column's collapsible design. If it is
necessary to remove the steering wheel, use only the specified steering wheel puller. Under no
conditions should the end of the shaft be hammered upon, as hammering could loosen slide block
which maintains column rigidity.

4. Steering Wheel
Align the setting marks made when removing.
CAUTION:
Never apply force to the setting wheel in direction of the
shaft by using a hammer or other impact tools in an
attempt to install the steering wheel. The setting shaft is
designed as an energy absorbing unit.

1. Inflator Module
1) Support the module and carefully connect the
module connector.
CAUTION:
·Never use the air bag assembly from another vehicle.
Use only the air bag assembly for "UBS".
·When replace the inflator module, use only same parts
number assembly. If different parts number assembly is
installed, the air bag system can not function correctly
because it has different characteristic.
NOTE:
Pass the lead wire through the tabs on the plastic
cover (wire protector) of inflator to prevent lead wire
from being pinches.
2) Secure the module with one bolt to relieve
weight on the connector wire.
3) Tighten bolts to specified sequence as figure.

disconnecting the steering wheel. Failure to do so will
cause the coil assembly to become uncentered which will
cause damage to the coil assembly.
