3. Check the connector for damage and deformed terminals,
and check the harness for binding.
4. Check the air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or
deformation.
5. Check the harness (built into the steering wheel) and
connectors for damage, and check the terminals for
deformation.
6. Check the clock spring connectors and protective tube for
damage, and terminals for deformities.
7. Visually check the case for damage.
If the clock spring's mating mark is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not completely rotate
during turn, or the flat cable within the clock spring
may be severed, obstructing normal operation of the
SRS and possibly lead to serious injury to the vehi-
cle's driver and front passenger.
8. Align the mating marks of the clock spring first. After turning
the front wheels to the straight-ahead position, install the
clock spring to the column.
Mating Marks Alignment;
After turning the clock spring fully clockwise, turn it
approximately 3 3/4 turns counterclockwise until the mating
marks are aligned.
9. Install the steering column covers, steering wheel and air
bag module (Refer to GROUP 52B, Air Bag Module and
Clock Spring P.52B-237).
10.Check the steering wheel for noise, binding or difficult
operation.

The SRS may not activate if any of the above compo-
nents are not installed properly, which could result in
serious injury or death to the vehicle's driver and
front passenger.
11.Check the steering wheel for excessive free play.
Replace any part if it fails visual inspection (Refer to
GROUP 52B, Air Bag Module and Clock Spring P.52B-237).
FRONT SEATBACK ASSEMBLY WITH
SIDE-AIRBAG MODULE
If any improper part is found during the following
inspection, replace the front seatback assembly
with a new one.
Dispose of the old one according to the specified
procedure (Refer to GROUP 52B, Air Bag Module
Disposal Procedures P.52B-254).
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of
the air bag module (squib) even if you are using
the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is mea-
sured with a tester, accidental air bag deployment
will result in serious personal injury.
1. Check the air bag module deployment section for dents or
deformation.
2. Check the connector for damage; Check the terminals for
deformation; and check the harness for binding.
Replace the front seat if it fails the visual checks above
(Refer to GROUP 52A, Front Seat P.52A-33).
SEAT BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER
If the seat belt pre-tensioner is not installed
securely and correctly, the seat belt pre-tensioner
may not operate normally.
If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected,
replace with a new seat belt pre-tensioner.
1. Check the seat belt pre-tensioner for dents or deformation.
2. Check that the seat belt pre-tensioner is installed correctly to
the vehicle body.
Replace the seat belt pre-tensioner if it fails the visual
checks above (Refer to GROUP 52B, Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner P.52B-250).
