52B-DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE INSPECTION

INSPECTION

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

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 to the steering wheel and check fit and alignment with the steering wheel.

CLOCK SPRING

If any malfunction is found in the following inspections, replace the clock spring with a new one.

1. Check the connectors and protective tubes for damage and the terminal for deformation.

2. Check the case for damage.

3. Check that the continuity exists between the following connector terminals.

C-312 connector terminal 1 and C-304 connector terminal 1
C-312 connector terminal 2 and C-304 connector terminal 2
C-312 connector terminal 3 and C-304 connector terminal 3
C-312 connector terminal 5 and C-304 connector terminal 5
C-312 connector terminal 6 and C-304 connector terminal 6
C-312 connector terminal 7 and C-304 connector terminal 7

4. As shown in the Figure, connect the circuit tester to special tool extra fine probe (MB992006) and check to see that there is a charge between the terminals.
