Driver Side Airbag Module (DAB), Front Passenger Side Air-
bag Module (PAB), Clock Spring, and Steering Wheel
Areas of Importance
1. Take off the battery's negative (-) terminal, and wait for 60 s before operating. Wrap the removed
negative (-) terminal in tape to insulate it.
2. The airbag module and clock spring must not be dismantled or repaired. If there is any malfunction,
replace the part.
3. Pay attention to the usage of the airbag module and clock spring. Do not drop it or immerge it in water
or oil. Furthermore, if there is any sinking or depression, cracking, deformity, etc., please replace it
with a new part.
4. Make sure the extended surface is faced upwards when the airbag module is to be deployed. Put it on
a flat surface and do not place anything on top of it.
5. Do not put the airbag module in a place where the temperature is over 93\
oC.
6. After the airbag module is deployed, replace it with a new one. At the same time, inspect the clock
spring (contact resistance between corresponding terminals should not be more than 0.8 Ω). If there
is anything abnormal, replace it with a new one.
7. Use gloves and protective glasses while operating on a deployed airbag.
8. While scraping an undeployed airbag, make sure to discard it after it ha\
s been deployed first.
9. During removal, to avoid experiencing static electricity interference leading to faulty execution, make
sure to remove the other wire harness connectors after the DAB and PAB module wire harness
connectors have been removed. Installation is done in reverse order.

Operation essentials
1. Driver side airbag and steering wheel removal
Caution: The following operations should only be performed after the battery's negative (-) terminal
has been disconnected, and after the ignition switch key has been pulled\
out for 60 s.
(a) Remove the mounting screws from the two holes under the steering wheel bottom cap, and lightly pick up
the driver side airbag module.
(b) Pull out the deployed airbag module's wire harness and the horn line, and remove the airbag module\
.
Attention: Diagnose the airbag module's circuit with an electrical measuring instruments but do not
dismantle it. Face the bottom of the removed passenger side airbag upwards and store it in a clean
and dry place.
(c) Remove the steering wheel mounting bolt on the steering column.
Caution: Due to the over-tight occlusion of the spline and column, the steering wheel and steering
column may be hard to separate, in which case make sure not to use force to remove the steering
wheel. The correct method is to tighten the screw into the column just a bit, and then pull up the
steering wheel (because the steering wheel bottom is connected to the clock spring, if force is used to
remove it, it may damage it).
2. Clock spring removal
(a) After steering wheel removal is completed, remove the combination switch hood.
(b) Pull out the dashboard wire harness connectors under the clock spring.
(c) Take off the clock spring.
Caution: Store the removed clock spring in a clean and dry place.
3. Installation notes
(a) Inspection before installation, inspection of driver side airbag module.
(b) Inspect the new airbag or clock spring before installing them.
4. Driver side airbag module inspection
Inspect each of the following items. If any faults are found, replace with a new corresponding airbag module
part. Discard the old components after they have been deployed in the pr\
oper order.
(a) Whether the cover sunken or depressed, cracked, or deformed.
(b) Whether the wire harness has broken connectors and deformed terminals.
(c) Whether the gas generator's housing is sunken or depressed, cracked, or deformed.
(d) Airbag module installation status.
Caution: The specified measuring instrument cannot measure the airbag module (tube rupture) circuit
resistance. Test the resistance with a testing instrument. There is an electric current in the tube rup-
ture which may lead to accidental deployment due to static electricity a\
nd cause serious accidents.
5. Clock spring inspection
Inspect each of the following items. If any fault is found, replace with\
a new clock spring.

Alignment area
(a) Whether there are broken connectors or protective
pipes and deformed terminals.
(b) Whether the housing is damaged.
(c) Inspect whether the clock spring's upper connector
terminal and lower corresponding connector terminal is
conducting.
Clock spring central involution
Screw in the clock spring clockwise all the way, and then
turn it 3.5 circles in the reverse direction, until the position
pin's block boss matches the block hole (as shown on the
left).
Caution: If the clock spring is not in the involution
central, the steering wheel will be unable to rotate
midway or cause clock spring circuit failure, which will
obstruct the normal operation of the SRS airbag.
6. Steering wheel and airbag module subassembly installation
(a) After pulling out the clock spring's position pin, install the steering wheel and airbag module su\
bassembly.
Caution: While installing the steering wheel and airbag module subassembly, please do not block the
clock spring wire harness.
(b) After installation, try to turn the steering wheel left and right to its proper position, and check for anything
abnormal.
7. Inspection after installation
(a) Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right to check whether there is anything abnormal or for any
strange noise. (Driver side airbag module, clock spring).
(b) Set the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) The SRS warning lamp will remain on for 6-7 s and will then die out.
(d) If the warning lamp is always on or shows other symptoms after 6-7 s, troubleshooting must be perf\
ormed.
(e) Inspect whether the clock spring circuit is open circuited. If yes, please replace it with a new \
one.
(f) If no, check the other circuits.
Airbag Module Disposal
While discarding the airbag module or a vehicle carrying a SRS airbag, please discard according to the following
steps.
Discarding essentials of the airbag module before deployment
1. Deploy the airbag before discarding SRS airbag.
2. Deploy the airbag outside the vehicle when replacing the airbag module.
3. There may be some smoke when deploying the airbag, so make sure to operate near a smoke
detector.
4. When deploying the airbag, the sound will be very loud. Please ask nearby people to plug their ears,
and try not to operate near residential areas.

Driver side airbag module
Wi r e h a r n e s s u s e d for deployment
Old tire with no hub
Wire harness used for deployment
Wire harness used for deployment
Wire harness used for deploymentShort circuit area
Longer than 6 m
4. Deploy the wire harness after removing the No. 2
connector of the clock spring.
Prepare two wire harnesses longer than 6 m for deployment,
and connect one of their ends together (to short circuit).
Caution: When deploying the airbag, make sure to
maintain a distance of at least 6 m away from objects
or people, and perform the deployment on a flat sur-
face. While deploying the airbag module outdoors,
avoid strong winds, and ignite it against the wind.
8. Place three old tires with no hub on the tires which are
used to fix in place the driver side airbag module (shown
on the left).
9. Cut off the connection of the driver side airbag module's
wire harness which is used for deployment at a place as
far away from the vehicle as possible and connect it to
the two terminals removed from the vehicle battery, caus-
ing it to deploy (shown on the left).
Caution: Deploy it only after ensuring that there are no
people around the airbag module. After the deployment
of driver side airbag module, the gas generator will be ex-
tremely hot. Continue to use it only after 30 min cooling.
10. Discard the deployed driver side airbag module accord-
ing to the discarding essentials.
5. Insert the airbag deployment wire harness into the
airbag execution device.
6. Install the unused bolts on the driver side airbag
module's inner side bolts, and bound the wheel rim with
a thick metal wire, so as to set the wheel rim in place.
7. Connect the wire harness used for deployment which is
connected with the driver side airbag module with the
lower part of the old tire which is used for installing the
wheel rim. Upwardly fix the driver side airbag module
with the metal wire which is connected to the bolt
(shown on the left).
