INSPECTION

M1524002500767

.

AIR BAG MODULE CHECK

DANGER

Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the 
air bag modules (squib), even if you are using the 
specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured 
with a tester, accidental air bag deployment will 
result, and possible serious personal injury.

WARNING

If any component damage is found during the follow-
ing inspection, replace the air bag module with a new 
one. Dispose of the old one according to the specified 
procedure (Refer to 

P.52B-461

).

1. Check the pad cover for dents, cracks or deformation.
2. Check the connectors for damage, the terminals for 

deformation, and the harness for binding.

3. Check the air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or 

deformation.

4. Install the air bag module (driver’s side) to the steering 

wheel and check fit and alignment with the steering wheel. 

5. Install the air bag module (front passenger’s side) to the 

instrument panel and front deck crossmember and check fit 
and alignment.

FRONT SEATBACK ASSEMBLY WITH SIDE-AIR 
BAG MODULE CHECK

DANGER

Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the 
air bag module (squib), even if you are using the 
specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured 
with a tester, accidental air bag deployment will 
result, and possible serious personal injury.

WARNING

If any improper part is found during the following 
inspection, replace the front seatback assembly with 
a new one. Dispose of the old one according to the 
specified procedure (Refer to 

P.52B-461

).

1. Check the air bag module deployment section for dents or 

deformation.

2. Check the connector for damage, the terminals for 

deformation, and the harness for binding.

.

CLOCK SPRING CHECK

If any malfunction is found in the following inspections, replace 
the clock spring with a new one.
1. Check the connectors and protective tube for damage, and 

the terminals for deformation.

2. Visually check the case for damage.
3. Check that the continuity exists between the following 

connector terminals.

• C-204 connector terminal 1 and horn switch connector

• C-204 connector terminal 2 and C-202 connector terminal 5

• C-204 connector terminal 3 and C-202 connector terminal 4

• C-204 connector terminal 4 and C-202 connector terminal 3

• C-204 connector terminal 5 and C-202 connector terminal 2

• C-204 connector terminal 6 and C-202 connector terminal 1
