Supplemental restraint system--Disassemble and assemble
(4) Disassemble the joint of loudspeaker and airbag wiring
harness.
(5) Take down safety airbag module at the side of driver.
Note: Disassembled safety airbag assembly at the side
of driver should make its bottom surface face
the upwards, and it should be stored in clean
and dry environment.
5. Check the safety airbag assembly at the side of
driver.
6. Disassemble steering wheel:
Disassemble assembling screws to take down steering wheel
from the middle position.
Note: For the mesh of spline and column is too tight, steer-
ing wheel is hard to disconnect from the column, at
this time, pay attention to do not disassemble the
steering wheel compulsively, it is necessary to
screw the screws on column, then lift the steering
wheel up (for steering wheel connects with helix
cable at its bottom, if disassembling steering wheel
compulsively, helix cable will be damaged).
7. Disassemble the lower cover of combination switch
Disassemble three screws and lower cover of combination
switch.
8. Disassemble helix cable:
(1) Slide the upper cover of combination switch.
(2) Disassemble airbag joint from helix cable.
(3) Disassemble three fixed claws and helix cable.
Note: disassembled helix cable should be stored in
clean and dry environment.
9. Check the helix cable:
(1) When assembling new helix cable, check whether the yel-
low fixed clamp on helix cable is good, if yellow clamp drops,
please adjust by the requirement on hint card of helix cable,
insure helix cable could turn left and right for 2.5 circles on
its existing fixed position.
(2) If finding following situations, it is necessary to change the
helix cable with new one.
a. There are some scratches or cracks on joint.
b. There are cracks, concaves or flaws on wiring harness
of helix cable.
10. Remove malfunction (referring to chapter 3).
11. Make the wheels face the front.
Note: it is necessary to make the front wheels face the
front, or the wires in helix cable might break in steer-
ing process.
12. Assemble helix cable:
(1) Inspection before assembling (referring to item 9).
(2) Set the steering light switch at middle position.
The pin of steering light switch may be broken, so it must
be confirmed whether the pin is at central position.
