Maintenance ItemsNJRS0012CAUTION:
Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuit.
1. Check operation of ªAIR BAGº warning lamp.
After turning ignition key to ªONº position, ªAIR BAGº warning
lamp illuminates. The ªAIR BAGº warning lamp will go off after
about 7 seconds if no malfunction is detected. If any of the fol-
lowing ªAIR BAGº warning lamp conditions occur, immediately
check the air bag system. Refer to RS-49 for details.
+The ªAIR BAGº warning lamp does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned ªONº.
+The ªAIR BAGº warning lamp does not go off about 7 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned ªONº.
+The ªAIR BAGº warning lamp blinks after about 7 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned ªONº.
2. Visually check SRS components.
1) Diagnosis sensor unit
+Check diagnosis sensor unit and bracket for dents, cracks and
deformities.
+Check connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
2) Air bag module and steering wheel
+Remove air bag module from steering wheel, instrument panel
or seatback. Check harness cover and connectors for damage,
terminals for deformities, and harness for binding.
+Install driver air bag module to steering wheel to check fit or
alignment with the wheel.
+Check steering wheel for excessive free play.
+Install front passenger air bag module to instrument panel to
check fit or alignment with the instrument panel.
+Install front side air bag module to seatback to check fit and
alignment with the seat.
3) Spiral cable
+Check spiral cable for dents, cracks, or deformities.
+Check connectors and protective tape for damage.
+Check steering wheel for noise, binding or heavy operation.
4) Main harness, body harness, side air bag module sub-harness
+Check connectors for poor connections, damage, and termi-
nals for deformities.
+Check harnesses for binding, chafing or cut.
5) Front seat belt pre-tensioner
+Check harness cover and connectors for damage, terminals
for deformities, and harness for binding.
+Check belts for damage and anchors for loose mounting.
+Check retractor for smooth operation.
+Perform self-diagnosis for seat belt pre-tensioner using ªAIR
BAGº warning lamp or CONSULT-II.
Refer to ªSRS Operation Checkº for details. (RS-49)
6) Side air bag (satellite) sensor
+Check side air bag (satellite) sensor (including bracket portion)
for dents, cracks or deformities.
+Check connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
CAUTION:
Replace previously used special bolts, hex bolts and ground
bolt with new ones.

REMOVALNJRS0016CAUTION:
+Before servicing SRS, turn the ignition switch off, discon-
nect both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
+Always work from the side of driver air bag module.
1. Remove lower lid from steering wheel, and disconnect driver
air bag module connector.

2. Remove side lids and audio steering switch. Using the
TAMPER RESISTANT TORX (Size T30), remove left and right
special bolts. Driver air bag module can then be removed.

CAUTION:
+Always place driver air bag module with pad side facing
upward.
+Do not attempt to disassemble driver air bag module.
+The special bolts are coated with bonding agent. Do not
use old bolts after removal; replace with new ones.
+Do not insert any foreign objects (screwdriver, etc.) into
driver air bag module connector.
SBF814E
+Replace driver air bag module if it has been dropped or
sustained an impact.
+Do not expose the driver air bag module to temperatures
exceeding 90ÉC (194ÉF).
+Do not allow oil, grease or water to come in contact with
the driver air bag module.
SBF239F
3. Set steering wheel in the neutral position.
4. Disconnect horn/audio connector and remove nut.
5. Using steering wheel puller, remove steering wheel. Be care-
ful not to over-tighten puller bolt on steering wheel.
CAUTION:
+Do not tap or bump the steering wheel.
6. Remove steering column cover.

7. Remove four spiral cable securing screws, and extract spiral
cable forward. Unlock spiral cable connector, then remove spi-
ral cable.
CAUTION:
+Do not attempt to disassemble spiral cable.
+Do not apply lubricant to the spiral cable.

INSTALLATIONNJRS00171. Set the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
2. Make sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position.
The neutral position is detected by turning left about 3.5 revo-
lutions from the right end position. Align the two marks (
)or
make sure that the white indicator is visible in the upper part
of the indicator window, with the cable pointed downwards.
CAUTION:
+The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is installed in an improper position.
+Also, with the steering linkage disconnected, the cable
may snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited
number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned up to
about 3.5 turns from the neutral position to both the right
and left.
3. Connect spiral cable connector and tighten with screws. Install
steering column cover.
4. Install steering wheel, aligning with spiral cable pin guides, and
pull spiral cable through.
5. Connect horn/audio connector and engage spiral cable with
pawls in steering wheel. Move driver air bag module connec-
tor away from steering wheel lower lid opening.
6. Tighten nut.

7. Position driver air bag module and tighten with new special
bolts.
8. Connect driver air bag module connector.
9. Install steering switches and lids.
10. Conduct self-diagnosis to ensure entire SRS operates prop-
erly. (Use CONSULT-II or warning lamp check.)
Before performing self-diagnosis, connect both battery cables.
11. Turn steering wheel to the left end and then to the right end
fully to make sure that spiral cable is set in the neutral posi-
tion.
If ªAIR BAGº warning lamp blinks or stays ON (at the user
mode), it shows the spiral cable may be snapped due to its
improper position. Perform self-diagnosis again (use CON-
SULT-II or warning lamp). If a malfunction is detected, replace
the spiral cable with a new one.
12. Perform self-diagnosis again to check that no malfunction is
detected.
