Installation

INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

NOTICE:

If the steering sensor is installed to a misaligned spiral cable sub-assembly, spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly malfunction DTCs, such as DTC B1801, C1231 and C1433, will be stored and it will be impossible to clear them. If this happens, replace the spiral cable sub-assembly and steering sensor with a new one.

(a) Check if the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered.

OK:

The connector is positioned at the top.
The alignment marks are aligned correctly.
The colored roller or flat cable can be seen in the inspection window.

(b) If the spiral cable sub-assembly is not centered, center it.

NOTICE:

Make sure to observe the following precautions, otherwise the spiral cable sub-assembly may be damaged.

Release the interlock before rotating the spiral cable sub-assembly.
Do not rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly using the airbag wire harness.
Do not rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly with excessive force.
