Inspection (Except Ralliart)

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 Procedures).

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 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-205 connector terminal 1 and horn switch connector
- C-205 connector terminal 2 and C-204 connector terminal 5
- C-205 connector terminal 3 and C-204 connector terminal 4
- C-205 connector terminal 4 and C-204 connector terminal 3
- C-205 connector terminal 5 and C-204 connector terminal 2
- C-205 connector terminal 6 and C-204 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 airbag module connector of the C-207 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.
