Air Bag Module: Testing and Inspection
WARNING:
1. Never attempt to disassemble or repair the air bag modules or clock spring. If faulty, replace it.
2. Do not drop the air bag modules or clock spring or allow contact with water, grease or oil. Replace it if a dent, crack, deformation or rust
is detected.
3. The air bag modules should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad surface is facing upward. Do not place anything on top
of it.
4. Do not expose the air bag modules to temperatures over 93° C (200° F).
5. After deployment of an air bag, replace the clock spring with a new one.
6. Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling air bags that have already deployed.
7. An undeployed air bag module should only be disposed of in accordance with the procedures.
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.
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 in serious personal injury.
1. Check the pad cover for dents, cracks or deformation.
2. Check the connectors for damage, the terminals for deformation, and the harness for binds.
3. Check the air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformation.
4. Install the air bag module (driver's side) to the steering wheel and check fit and alignment with the wheel.
5. Install the air bag module (front passenger's side) to the instrument panel and crossmember and check fit and alignment.
6. Install the air bag module cover (front passenger's side) to the instrument panel to check fit and alignment.
