6) Contact Coil
The contact coil is installed between the steering wheel and the steering column and contains a
coil that enables to contact electrically between the airbag wiring harness, the driver airbag
module and the horn switch.
Turning the steering wheel more than three and onequarter turns may damage the clock
spring. The contact coil should never be disassembled and must be replaced if the airbag
have been deployed. -
Turn the label of the clock spring clockwise to lock and turn the label of the clock spring
counterclockwise approximately 2.9 ± 0.2 turns to the neutral positions with the front
wheels ahead.
Align the pointed marks “43”. -
7) Accelometer Sensor
The accelerometer sensor electronically represents the acceleration or deceleration of the
vehicle during a frontal impact.
In this electronic representation, the electrical signal is proportional to the acceleration o
r
deceleration of the vehicle.
8) Safety Sensor
The safety sensor is safety device made up of a dualcontact, electro-mechanical switch that:
Acts independently of the electronic components.
Connects the acceleration sensor in series in order to make up for the weak points in the
current electronic sensor. 1.

11) Wiring Harness Connectors
If the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) electrical connector is not attached properly, a built
in shorting bar will connect the wire from airbag warning lamp with the SDM ground wire. This
turns on the AIRBAG indicator.
To prevent deployment during servicing, additional shorting bars are located in following
locations:
Driver airbag module connector
Passenger airbag module connector
Driver and passenger side airbag module connector
SDM wiring harness connector
Contact coil connector to airbag wiring harness ·
·
·
·
·
The shorting bar is only a backup safety device. Always disable the supplemental restraints
system (SRS) before beginning any service procedure.
12) Belt Pretensioner
The belt pretensioner enables to retract the driver and the passenger seat belt webbing to
reduce any personal impact when accounted a frontal collision.
