WARNING: DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BAT-
TERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE BEFORE
BEGINNING ANY AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPONENT
REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION PROCEDURE. THIS
WILL DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO
DISCONNECT BATTERY COULD RESULT IN ACCI-DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
ALLOW SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE
FOR 1 MINUTE BEFORE REMOVING ANY AIRBAG
COMPONENTS.
REMOVAL
(1) Adjust the steering wheel so that the tires are
in the straight ahead position. Then:
(a) Rotate the steering wheel half turn (180
degrees) to the right (clockwise).
(b) Lock column with the ignition cylinder lock.
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable (Fig. 4).
(3) Remove the speed control switches and discon-
nect the wire connectors or covers (Fig. 11).
(4) Remove the Driver Airbag Module attaching
bolts from the back of steering wheel.
(5) Lift module and disconnect the airbag and horn
wire connectors.
(6) Remove steering wheel retaining nut.
(7) Remove the steering wheel with a steering
wheel puller (Fig. 12). While removing the steering
wheel take care to feed the wires gently through the
holes in the steering wheel.
INSTALLATION
(1) Confirm that:
(a) The steering wheel position is a half turn
(180 degrees) to the right (clockwise).
(b) The column is locked with the ignition cylin-
der lock.
(c) Check that the turn signal stalk is in the
neutral position.
(2) Install the steering wheel ensuring the flats on
hub align with the clockspring. Pull the horn lead,
airbag and speed control leads through the larger

slot. Ensure leads do not get pinched under the steer-
ing wheel.
(3) Install the steering wheel retaining nut, and
tighten it to 61 N´m (45 ft. lbs.) torque.
(4) Install the driver airbag module. Refer to
Driver Airbag Module Removal and Installation in
this section.
(5) Do not connect the battery negative cable.
Refer to Diagnosis and Testing for Airbag System
Test procedures.

If the rotating tape within the clockspring is not
positioned properly with the steering wheel and the
front wheels, the clockspring may fail during use.
The following procedureMUST BE USEDto center
the clockspring if:
²The clockspring is not known to be properly
positioned.
²The front wheels were moved.
²The steering wheel was moved from the half
turn (180 degrees) to the right (clockwise) position.
(1) Remove clockspring. Refer to Clockspring
Removal and Installation in this section.
(2) Rotate the clockspring rotor in the CLOCK-
WISE DIRECTION to the end of travel. Do not apply
excessive torque.
(3) From the end of travel, rotate the rotor three
full turns in the counterclockwise direction. The horn
wire and the squib wire should end up at the bottom.
If not, rotate the rotor counter clockwise until the
wires are properly orientated, but not more than half
turn (180 degrees). Engage clockspring locking mech-
anism.
(4) For installation, refer to Clockspring Removal
and Installation in this section.
(5) Do not connect battery negative cable. Refer to
Diagnosis and Testing for Airbag System Test
procedures.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR-
BAG, REFER TO THE AIRBAG PORTION OF THIS
SECTION FOR STEERING WHEEL OR SWITCH
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
The seat belt reminder system uses both visual
and audible signals. A combined seat belt and key
reminder chime with a red light on the instrument
panel.
The system will always illuminate the seat belt
reminder lamp for four to eight seconds when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The
CHIME will sound during the same time interval if
the driver's seat belt is not fastened. Passenger belts
are not connected to the system.
The chime will activate if the drivers door is
opened and:
²The key is in the ignition switch, with the igni-
tion switch in either the OFF or accessory (ACC)
position.
²The head lamps are ON.
The chime is integral to the instrument cluster.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
FASTEN SEAT BELTS
To test the fasten seat belts function, turn the igni-
tion switch to the ON position with the driver's seat
belt unbuckled and fully retracted. The seat belt
warning lamp should light for four to eight seconds
and the tone should sound three to five times.
If the lamp does not light, check the connection at
the seat belt retractor and the LED in the instru-
ment cluster. Replace as necessary.
HEADLAMPS LEFT ON
These are the conditions that have to be met for
the headlamps on, chime function to work:
²Headlamps ON.
²Driver's door open.
²Key removed from the ignition switch.
Chime should sound until headlamps are turned
off or driver's door is closed.
If these conditions are met and there is still a
problem with the system, replace the instrument
cluster. Refer to Group 8E-Instrument Panel and
Systems, Instrument Cluster Removal and Installa-
tion.
KEY LEFT IN IGNITION SWITCH
To test the key left in ignition function, insert key
into the ignition and open the driver's door. Chime
should sound until key is removed from ignition or
driver's door is closed.
If these conditions are met and there is still a
problem with the system, replace the instrument
cluster. Refer to Group 8E-Instrument Panel and
Systems, Instrument Cluster Removal and Installa-
tion.
CHIME SYSTEM CONDITIONS
NO TONE WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON
AND DRIVERS SEAT BELT IS UNBUCKLED
(1) Using an ohmmeter, with the seat belt fully
retracted, check for continuity to ground at Pin 25 of
the cluster harness connector. If OK, go to step 2. If
not OK, repair as necessary.
(2) Using voltmeter, check for battery feed at Pin
21 of the cluster harness connector. Check for igni-
tion feed at Pin 15 of the cluster harness connector.
If not OK, repair as necessary.
