3. INSPECTION OF OTHER PARTS
Check for the following parts, replace the damaged
parts with new ones.
1) Steering wheel and steering shaft
Check the steering wheel and steering shaft for
mounting condition and deflection of axial and radi-
al direction. Check the steering shaft for deflection
of axial direction with tilt lever released. (After a col-
lision, absorbing part of steering shaft may inflate.)
2) Check the direct type connector of driver’s air-
bag module, pretensioner, etc. for damage, and
also check each harness for pinch and connector
damage. If damage is found, replace the harness
as a unit.
B: INSPECTION
If the vehicle is involved in a collision on any side,
even if it is a slight collision, be sure to check the
following system parts.

water or cleaning solvent.
2) When installing a new driver’s airbag module,
check the following. If necessary, install a new air-
bag module and steering wheel.
The steering wheel is in the way, making it diffi-
cult to install the airbag module. The clearance between the driver’s airbag mod-
ule and steering wheel is not constant.
The steering wheel deformation in axial and radi-
al directions exceed limits.
