INSPECTION

AIR BAG MODULE CHECK

1. 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 following inspection, replace the air bag module with a new one. Dispose of the old one according to the specified procedure (Refer to Service and Repair).

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





1. 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 Service and Repair).

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





4.
CAUTION:
Do not directly insert a probe, etc. into the terminal from the front of the connector.

Insert the special tool (MB992006) from behind the air bag module connector of the C-205 driver's side.
5. Connect the circuit tester to the special tool as shown in the figure, and check the continuity among terminal No. 1 - 2 or No. 3 - 4.
