Supplemental restraint system--Disassemble and assemble
(4) Disassemble the joint of loudspeaker and airbag wiring
harness.
(5) Take down safety airbag module at the side of driver.
Note:Disassembled safety airbag assembly at the side
of driver should make its bottom surface face
the upwards, and it should be stored in clean
and dry environment.
5. Check the safety airbag assembly at the side of
driver.
6. Disassemble steering wheel:
Disassemble assembling screws to take down steering wheel
from the middle position.
Note:For the mesh of spline and column is too tight, steer-
ing wheel is hard to disconnect from the column, at
this time, pay attention to do not disassemble the
steering wheel compulsively, it is necessary to
screw the screws on column, then lift the steering
wheel up (for steering wheel connects with helix
cable at its bottom, if disassembling steering wheel
compulsively, helix cable will be damaged).
7. Disassemble the lower cover of combination switch
Disassemble three screws and lower cover of combination
switch.
8. Disassemble helix cable:
(1) Slide the upper cover of combination switch.
(2) Disassemble airbag joint from helix cable.
(3) Disassemble three fixed claws and helix cable.
Note:disassembled helix cable should be stored in
clean and dry environment.
9. Check the helix cable:
(1) When assembling new helix cable, check whether the yel-
low fixed clamp on helix cable is good, if yellow clamp drops,
please adjust by the requirement on hint card of helix cable,
insure helix cable could turn left and right for 2.5 circles on
its existing fixed position.
(2) If finding following situations, it is necessary to change the
helix cable with new one.
a. There are some scratches or cracks on joint.
b. There are cracks, concaves or flaws on wiring harness
of helix cable.
10. Remove malfunction (referring to chapter 3).
11. Make the wheels face the front.
Note: it is necessary to make the front wheels face the
front, or the wires in helix cable might break in steer-
ing process.
12. Assemble helix cable:
(1) Inspection before assembling (referring to item 9).
(2) Set the steering light switch at middle position.
The pin of steering light switch may be broken, so it must
be confirmed whether the pin is at central position.

Safety airbag assemble at the side of passenger
1. Note (referring to chapter 1).
2. Use the flash or malfunction diagnostic tool to test the malfunction (referring to chapter
1 and 3).
3. Disconnect the connection of cathode of battery, and do not operate in 60 seconds after
disconnecting.
4. Disassemble the glove box.
5. Disassemble the joint of safety airbag at the side of passenger, and do not damage
airbag wiring harness carefully.
6. Disassemble the safety airbag assembly at the side of passenger.
a. Disassemble three connecting bolts from the bracket of safety airbag assembly at the side of passenger.
b. Take down the safety airbag assembly from panel.
7. Check the safety airbag assembly at the side of passenger (referring to chapter 2).
8. Assemble airbag assembly.
a. Check whether the connection between safety airbag module and airbag short wiring harness is firm.
b. Firstly, insert the module in assembling position from the upside of panel, secondly, align the assem-
bling hole of small bracket on module with the assembling hole on framework of panel, at the same
time, the module cover and panel clearance should be even, and the barb on module should be con-
nected to its position.
9. After assembling, use malfunction diagnostic tool or malfunction indicating light to
check and confirm the malfunction has been removed.
(3) Make three fixed claws mesh steering column.
When changing with new helix cable, it is necessary to disassemble yellow clamp before assembling.
(4) Insert the plug of airbag wiring harness in the plug of helix cable and make this connection firm.

(4) After assembling, use malfunction diagnostic tool or malfunction indicating light to check
and confirm the malfunction has been removed. (5) Connect the lower cover of combination switch.
(6) Connect the upper cover of combination switch with the
lower cover with special bolts firmly.
13. Set the helix cable at middle position
a. Check whether ignition switch locates OFF state.
b. Check whether the cathode end of battery has been
disassembled.
Note: do not operate in 60 seconds after disassembling
cathode end.
c. Turn helix cable anticlockwise with hand until it could not
be turned.
d. Then turn the helix cable clockwise for 2.5 circles to align
the mark.
14. Assemble steering wheel
(1) Inspection before assembling:
z Steering wheel
z Connecting wiring harness
z Safety airbag assembly at the side of driver
(2) Tighten the assembling screws at both sides.
(3) Connection of battery terminal “-”.
