a. SPIRAL CABLE
1. The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the steering column with the spiral cable at the
neutral position, as cable disconnection and other problems may occur. Refer to the
are equipped with a backup power source. If work is
started within 90 seconds of turning the ignition switch
OFF and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-)
battery terminal, SRS parts may deploy.)
Do not expose SRS parts directly to hot air or flames.
NOTE:
Malfunction symptoms of SRS parts are difficult to confirm.
DTCs are the most important source of information when
troubleshooting. During troubleshooting, always confirm DTCs
before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery
terminal.
For minor collisions where SRS parts do not deploy, always
inspect the SRS parts.
Before performing repairs, remove airbag sensors as necessary
if any kind of impact is likely to occur to an airbag sensor
during repairs.
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing SRS
parts, replace them with new ones.
Never disassemble or attempt to repair SRS parts.
If an SRS part has been dropped, or if there are any cracks,
dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace
the SRS part with a new one.
Use an ohmmeter/voltmeter with high impedance (10 kohms/V
minimum) for troubleshooting the electrical circuits.
Information labels are attached to the periphery of SRS parts.
Follow the cautions and instructions on the labels.
After work on SRS parts is completed, perform the SRS warning
light check.
When the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery
terminal, the memory settings of each system will be cleared.
Because of this, be sure to write down the settings of each
system before starting work. When work is finished, reset the
settings of each system as before. Never use a backup power
supply from outside the vehicle to avoid erasing the memory in
a system.
An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity.
To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with bare
hands to discharge static electricity before performing this
procedure.
