INSPECTION AIR BAG MODULE CHECK If any improper part is found during the following inspection, replace the air bag module with a new one. Dispose the old one according to the specified procedure. (Refer to .) CAUTION: 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 in serious personal injury. 1.Check pad cover for dents, cracks or deformation. 2.Check connectors for damage, terminals for deformation, and harness for binds. 3.Check air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformation. 4.Install the air bag module to steering wheel or dash to check fit or alignment. CAUTION: If dents, cracks, deformation, or rust are discovered in the air bag module, replace it with a new one. Dispose of the old one according to the specified procedure. (Refer to .)

CLOCK SPRING CHECK If, as result of following checks, even one abnormal point is discovered, replace the clock spring with a new one. 1.Check connectors and protective tube for damage, and terminals for deformation. 2.Visually check the case for damage.

3.Check for continuity between the No.1 connector of the clock spring and connectors No.3 and 4

4.Align the paint mark of the SRS check harness connector No.4 with the notch in clock spring connector No.2 (arrow in the illustration) to connect the connectors Nos.2 and 4. 5.Connect SRS check harness connector No.1 with clock spring connector No.5. 6.Check continuity between terminals 22 and 25 and between terminals 23 and 24 of the SRS check harness connector No.5.
