INSPECTION


DRIVER’S AIR BAG MODULE
caution
  • Never measure circuit resistance in the air bag modules (squib) even with the specified tester. Measuring the circuit resistance with a tester causes accidental air bag deployment due to current that flows or static, resulting in serious personal injury.
  • When replacing the parts, discard the old parts after deploying the air bag according to the specified procedure (Refer to ).
If any malfunction is found in the following inspections, replace the air bag module with a new one.


  1. Pad cover dent, crack or deformation
  2. Check the harness and connector for damage and the terminal for deformation.
  3. Check the air bag inflator cases for dents, cracks or deformation.
  4. Check the air bag module for proper installation.

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.

  • Clock spring connector terminal 1 and horn connector terminal 1
  • Clock spring connector terminal 5 and horn connector terminal 5

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.
