driver air bag module.
INSTALLATION
1. Connect harness connector to air bag module.
CAUTION:
Fix air bag harness on the hook for harness fixing.
2. Install the air bag module with new TORX bolts (T30).
NOTE:
Align air bag module side hole with steering wheel side hole, and then tighten special bolts when installing
air bag module. Thread is damaged and installation is incorrect if both holes are not aligned.
3. Install side lids.
4. Connect both battery cables.
5. Check SRS air bag warning lamp to make sure that the system works normally after finishing work.
6. If SRS air bag warning lamp indicates a DTC exists, reset with self-diagnosis and erase the memory using
CONSULT-II.
7. After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to make sure that no malfunction is detected. Refer to
SRS-16, "

SPIRAL CABLE

7. Disconnect the horn switch connector and spiral cable connec-
tor.
NOTE:
Disconnect the horn switch connector, and then the spiral cable
connector.
CAUTION:
Do not tap or bump the steering wheel.
8. Loosen screws. While pushing upper plastic tab, remove spiral cable.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

If it is mounted in the inappropriate position, spiral cable
may be cut when performing steering operation.

Also, with the steering linkage disconnected the cable may
snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited num-
ber of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclock-
wise about 2.5 turns from the right end position.

Do not twist spiral cable freely or excessively after it
becomes tight (doing so may cause the cable to be torn
off).

Secure air bag harness to the harness fixing hook.

Check SRS air bag warning lamp to make sure that the sys-
tem works normally after finishing work.

If SRS air bag warning lamp indicates a DTC exists, reset
with self-diagnosis and erase the memory using CONSULT-
II.

After the operation above, if SRS air bag warning lamp still
shows a non-standard condition, perform system trouble
diagnosis again, and repair or replace the indicated compo-
nent. Refer to SRS-16, "
SRS Operation Check" .

COLLISION DIAGNOSISPFP:00015
For Frontal CollisionBHS0004O
To repair the SRS, perform the following steps.
When SRS (except the front side air bag and side curtain air bag modules) is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
2. Remove the air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules),
crash zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
3. Check the SRS components using the table below:
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
4. Install new air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules) crash
zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
5. Perform self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-16, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When SRS is not activated in a collision:
1. Check the SRS components using the table below:
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
2. Perform self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-16, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
