The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer
long enough for any water to freeze. Reinstall the part into the car
and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs, repair
or replace the component.
SGI844
WATER INTRUSIONNLGI0005S0205The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy
weather. In such cases the incident could be caused by water
intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking the
car or running it through a car wash.
Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.
SGI845
ELECTRICAL LOADNLGI0005S0206The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnoses
with all accessories (including A/C, rear window defogger, radio,
fog lamps) turned on.
COLD OR HOT START UPNLGI0005S0207On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the
car is started cold. Or it may occur when the car is restarted hot
shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to keep
the car overnight to make a proper diagnoses.
Circuit InspectionNLGI0005S03INTRODUCTIONNLGI0005S0301In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is
approached in a logical and organized method. Before beginning
it is important to have all available information on the system to be
tested. Also, get a thorough understanding of system operation.
Then you will be able to use the appropriate equipment and follow
the correct test procedure.
You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while testing electrical
components.Gently shakethe wiring harness or electrical com-
ponent to do this.
OPEN A circuit is open when there is no continuity through a section of
the circuit.
SHORT There are two types of shorts.
+SHORT CIRCUIT When a circuit contacts another circuit
and causes the normal resistance to
change.
+SHORT TO GROUND When a circuit contacts a ground source
and grounds the circuit.

INSTALLATIONNLRS00171. 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 (counterclock-
wise) about 3.5 revolutions from the right end position. Align
the two marks (
) or make sure that the white indicator is vis-
ible in the upper part of the indicator window, with the cable
pointed down wards.
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.
4. Install inner and steering column cover. And make sure the
harness do not get caught between inner steering cover and
steering column.
5. Install steering wheel, aligning with spiral cable pin guides, and
pull spiral cable through.
6. Connect horn connector (or horn/audio connector) and engage
spiral cable with pawls in steering wheel. Move driver air bag
module connector away from steering wheel lower lid opening.
7. Tighten nut.

8. Position driver air bag module and tighten with new special
bolts.
9. Connect driver air bag module connector.
10. Install steering switches and lids.
11. 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.
12. 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“AIR BAG”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.
13. Perform self-diagnosis again to check that no malfunction is
detected.
