SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: SPIRAL CABLE: INSTALLATION

1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

NOTICE:
If the steering sensor is installed to a misaligned spiral cable sub-assembly, DTCs for an abnormal steering sensor value such as DTC B1801, C1231 and DTC C1433 are stored and it is impossible to repair them. If this happens, replace the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with a new one.

(a) Check if the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered.

HINT
When the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered, the part indicated by A is positioned at the top and the colored part shown in the illustration is visible.

(b) If the spiral cable sub-assembly is not centered, center it.

If the cable cannot be centered, it is possible that the spiral cable sub-assembly is broken. Replace the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with a new one.

(1) While pushing on the interlock indicated in the illustration, rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise slowly by hand until it stops.





NOTICE:
* When rotating the spiral cable sub-assembly, make sure to push on the interlock indicated in the illustration to release the interlock mechanism.
* Do not turn the spiral cable sub-assembly using the airbag wire harness.

(2) Rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly clockwise approximately 2.5 turns to the position where the colored part shown in the illustration is visible.

HINT
The spiral cable sub-assembly will rotate approximately 2.5 turns to both the left and right from the center.

2. INSTALL SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

(a) Align the 2 pins and 2 guides, and engage the 6 claws to install the spiral cable sub-assembly to the steering sensor.

NOTICE:
* The spiral cable sub-assembly can be rotate up to 30° even when the interlock is engaged. Therefore, make sure that both guides are aligned properly when installing the steering sensor to the spiral cable sub-assembly.
* Do not remove the lock pin before the spiral cable sub-assembly is installed to the steering sensor.

(b) Remove the lock pin from the steering sensor.

3. ALIGN FRONT WHEELS TO FACE STRAIGHT AHEAD

4. INSTALL SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY

NOTICE:
* Do not replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the ignition switch on (IG).
* Do not rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly without the steering wheel with the battery connected and the ignition switch on (IG).
* Ensure that the steering wheel is installed and aligned straight when inspecting the steering sensor.

(a) Check that the ignition switch is off.

(b) Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(c) Check that the front wheels are facing straight ahead.

(d) Set the turn signal switch to the neutral position.

NOTICE:
If it is not in the neutral position, the turn signal switch pin may snap.

(e) Engage the 3 claws to install the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly.

(f) Connect the each connector.

5. INSTALL UPPER STEERING COLUMN COVER Installation

6. INSTALL LOWER STEERING COLUMN COVER Installation

7. INSPECT AND ADJUST SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY

NOTICE:
Do not adjust the spiral cable sub-assembly with the battery connected and the ignition switch on (IG).

(a) Check that the ignition switch is off.

(b) Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(c) Check if the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered.
