4. Pulling down on the steering switch harness, install the air bag

module into the steering wheel.

• Make sure that the steering switch harness is routed below the

center of the air bag module inflator (1) as shown (B), and is

not routed so it is pinched between the driver air bag module

inflator (1) and steering column shaft threads as shown (A).

CAUTION:

Make sure the steering switch harness is correctly routed

below the center of the driver air bag module inflator (1) as

shown (B), and NOT incorrectly routed across the driver air

bag module inflator as shown (A).

5. Install the remaining components in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to damage or pinch the harness while installing.

• Tighten the driver air bag module bolts after centering the holes between the driver air bag mod-

ule and the steering wheel horn contact bracket. If the holes are misaligned, the bolt threads may

become damaged and the module will not install securely.

• After the work is completed, make sure no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning

lamp.

• In case a malfunction is detected by the air bag warning lamp, reset by the self-diagnosis func-

tion and delete the memory by CONSULT–III.

• If a malfunction is still detected after the above operation, perform self-diagnosis to repair mal-

functions. Refer to 

SRC-12, "SRS Operation Check"
