TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
Trouble Diagnosis: “AIR BAG” Warning Lamp Does Not Turn OffEHS0016V
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 6
1. CHECK CONDITION OF AIR BAG MODULE
Inspect for any deployed air bag modules or seat belt pre-tensioners.
Are any air bag modules or seat belt pre-tensioners deployed?
Yes >> Refer to SRS-60, "COLLISION DIAGNOSIS" .
No >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK THE AIR BAG FUSE
Check 10A fuse [No. 13, located in the fuse block (J/B)].
Refer to PG-4, "
POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK AIR BAG FUSE AGAIN
Replace 10A fuse [No. 13, located in the fuse block (J/B)] and turn ignition switch ON.
Does the fuse blow again?
Yes >> Repair harness.
No >> Inspection End.
4. CHECK AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS SENSOR UNIT
Connect CONSULT-II and touch “START”.
Is
“AIR BAG” displayed on CONSULT-II?
Yes >> GO TO 5.
No >> Visually inspect the air bag diagnosis sensor unit har- ness connections. If the connections are OK, replace
the air bag diagnosis sensor unit. Refer to SRS-58,
"Removal and Installation" .
5. CHECK HARNESS CONNECTION
Check for loose connections between the combination meter and the air bag diagnosis sensor unit.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace air bag diagnosis sensor unit. Refer to SRS-58, "Removal and Installation" .
NG >> Properly connect the combination meter and air bag diagnosis sensor unit harness connectors. If “AIR BAG” warning lamp still does not turn off, replace the wiring harness.

4. While pressing tabs, pull lighting and turn signal switch toward
driver door and disconnect from base.
5. Remove the screws, release the clip, and remove the spiral cable.
CAUTION:

Do not disassemble spiral cable.

Do not apply lubricant to the spiral cable.
6. Remove the spiral cable connectors. CAUTION:
With the steering linkage disconnected, the spiral cable may snap by turning the steering wheel
beyond the limited number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclockwise about 2.5
turns from the neutral position.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Align spiral cable correctly when installing steering wheel. Make
sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position. The neutral
position is detected by turning left 2.6 revolutions from the right
end position and ending with the knob at the top.

If equipped with VDC, refer to BRC-62, "Adjustment of Steering
Angle Sensor Neutral Position" for steering angle sensor adjust-
ment.

After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to make sure
no malfunction is detected. Refer to SRS-20, "
SRS Operation
Check" .
CAUTION:

The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is not installed in the correct position.

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 counterclockwise
about 2.5 turns from the right end position.
