INSTALLATION

Air bag module and spiral cable — installation

  1. 1
    Set the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
  2. 2
    Make sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position. The neutral position is detected by turning left (clockwise) about 2.5 revolutions from the right end position. Align the two marks (▽).
    The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the cable is installed in an improper position.
    Also, with the steering linkage disconnected, the cable may snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned up to about 2.5 turns from the neutral position to both the right and left.
    Spiral cable centering procedure. Top: spiral cable rotated counter-clockwise to the Right end stop with arrow. Bottom: spiral cable returned 2.5 turns to the Neutral position; two alignment marks (chevrons) are shown aligned at the indicated position.
