Steering Wheel Pad
STEERING WHEEL PAD (with AIRBAG)
1. When removing the steering wheel pad or handling a new steering wheel pad, it should be placed with the pad top surface facing up. In this case, the twin-lock type connector lock lever should be in the locked state and care should be taken to place it so the connector will not be damaged. Also, do not store a steering wheel pad on top of another one. Storing the pad with its metallic surface up may lead to a serious accident if the airbag inflates for some reason.
2. Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib. (This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very dangerous.)
3. Grease should not be applied to the steering wheel pad and the pad should not be cleaned with detergents of any kind.
4. Store the steering wheel pad where the ambient temperature remains below 93°C (200F), without high humidity and away from electrical noise.
5. When using electric welding, first disconnect the SRS connector (yellow color and 2 pins) under the steering column near the combination switch connector before starting work.
6. When disposing of a vehicle or the steering wheel pad alone, the airbag should be deployed using an SST before disposal.
Perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise.
SPIRAL CABLE (IN COMBINATION SWITCH)
The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the steering column with the spiral cable at the neutral position, otherwise cable disconnection and other troubles may result.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
1. Always store a removed or new front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag door facing up. Storing the airbag assembly with the airbag door facing down could cause a serious accident if the airbag inflates.
2. Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib. (This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very dangerous.)
3. Grease should not be applied to the front passenger airbag assembly and the airbag door should not be cleaned with detergents of any kind.
4. Store the front passenger airbag assembly where the ambient temperature remains below 93 (200F), without high humidity and away from electrical noise.
5. When using electric welding, first disconnect the SRS connector (yellow color and 2 pins) installed on the glove compartment door finish plate at the upper side of the instrument panel box before starting work.
6. When disposing of a vehicle or the front passenger airbag assembly alone, the airbag should be deployed using a SST before disposal. Perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise
FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
1. Never reuse the front airbag sensors involved in a collision when the SRS has deployed. (Replace both the left and right airbag sensors.)
2. Install the front airbag sensor with the arrow on the sensor facing toward the front of the vehicle.
3. The front airbag sensor set bolts have been anti-rust treated. When the sensor is removed, always replace the set bolt and the nut with new ones.
4. The front airbag sensors is equipped with an electrical connection check mechanism. Be sure to lock this mechanism securely when connecting the connector. If the connector is not securely locked, a malfunction code will be detected by the diagnosis system.
CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
1. Never reuse the center airbag sensor assembly involved in a collision when the SRS has deployed.
2. The connectors to the center airbag sensor assembly should be connected or disconnected with the sensor mounted on the floor. If the connectors are connected or disconnected while the center airbag sensor assembly is not mounted to the floor, it could cause undesired ignition of the supplemental restraint system.
3. Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is turned to "LOCK" position and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, even if only loosening the set bolts of the center airbag sensor assembly.
WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
The SRS wire harness is integrated with the cowl wire harness assembly. The wires for the SRS wire harness are encased in a yellow corrugated tube. All the connectors for the system are also a standard yellow color. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected or the connector becomes broken due to an accident, etc., repair or replace it.
