ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1. By sliding the A section (in the figure) of the clock spring
connector in the arrow direction, disconnect the connector.
2. Insert the hexagonal bit socket into the arrow section
in the figure. Completely loosen the bolt, and then remove
the steering wheel - driver’s air bag module assembly.

PRINTED HEATER CHECK
(1) With engine running at 2,000 rpm and battery in charging
mode, check print heater for normal operation.
(2) With defogger switch in “ON” position, use circuit tester
to measure voltage of individual print heaters at the center
point A of rear window glass. When the tester indicates
approx. 6V, the print heater is evaluated normal.
(3) When the measured value at Position A is 12V, open
circuit occurs between Position A and minus terminal.
In this case, carefully move test bar to minus terminal
side to detect a rapid voltage drop point (0V). This voltage
drop point indicates open circuit section.
(4) When voltage at Position A is 0V, open circuit occurs
between Position A and plus terminal. According to the
previous step, detect a rapid voltage increase point (12V).
