Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified
tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious
personal injury.
1. Check pad cover for dents, cracks or deformities.
2. Check the airbag module for denting, cracking or deformation.
3. Check hooks and connectors for damage, terminals for deformities, and harness for binds.
4. Check airbag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformities.
5. Install the airbag module to the steering wheel to check for fit or alignment with the wheel.
A. If, as a result of the following checks, even one abnormal point is discovered, replace the clock spring with a
new one.
B. Check connectors and protective tube for damage, and terminals for deformities.

DESCRIPTION
The passenger Airbag (PAB) is installed inside the dash and protects the front passenger in the event of a frontal crash.
The SRSCM determines if and when to deploy the PAB but the front impact sensor (FIS) signal. The PAB is a two
stage device; if the SRSCM determines that only the first stage should activate, the second stage will dispose 120 ms
after firststage deployment. In case of loss of vehicle power, the driver firing loops are have a 150 ms battery backup.
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified
