Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Service and Repair
WARNING: Store a remove airbag assembly with the pad surface up. If the airbag is improperly stored face down, accidental deployment
could propel the unit with enough force to cause serious injury.
CAUTION:
- Always disconnect the airbag connector(s) when the harness is disconnected.
- Do not disassemble or tamper with the airbag.
NOTE: Carefully inspect the airbag assembly before installing it. Do not install an airbag that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled,
such as dents, cracks or deformation.
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable, then disconnect the positive cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes.
2. Remove the access panel from the steering wheel, then disconnect the 2P connector between the driver's airbag and cable reel.
NOTE: When disconnected, the airbag connector is automatically shorted.
3. Make sure the wheels are aligned straight ahead.
4. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover.
5. Remove the two Torx bolts from the steering wheel, and disconnect the horn connector. Then remove the driver's airbag.
