Inspection Procedure

CAUTION: The vehicle is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) which includes components such as airbags. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts), be sure to read the Precaution for the SRS (See AIRBAG SYSTEM ).
  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER - SPIRAL CABLE) 
    1. Disconnect the F23 receiver connector.
    2. Disconnect the E12 cable connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F23-8 (SW2) - E12-5 (AU2) Always Below 1 Ω
      F23-6 (SWG) - E12-4 (EAU)
      F23-7 (SW1) - E12-6 (AU1)
      F23-8 (SW2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      F23-6 (SWG) - Body ground
      F23-7 (SW1) - Body ground

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK: Go to next Step 

  2. CHECK NO. 1 SWITCH WIRE 
    1. Disconnect the z35 cable connector.
    2. Disconnect the switch connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z35-8 (EAU) - 8 (EAU) Always Below 1 Ω
      z35-9 (AU2) - 7 (AU2)
      z35-10 (AU1) - 6 (AU1)

    NG: REPLACE NO. 1 SWITCH WIRE

    1. Disconnect the z35 and E12 cable connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E12-4 (EAU) - z35-8 (EAU) Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations counterclockwise Below 3 Ω
      Spiral cable is centered
      Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations clockwise
      E12-5 (AU2) - z35-9 (AU2) Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations counterclockwise Below 3 Ω
      Spiral cable is centered
      Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations clockwise
      E12-6 (AU1) - z35-10 (AU1) Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations counterclockwise Below 3 n
      Spiral cable is centered
      Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations clockwise
      CAUTION: The spiral cable is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable may prevent the airbag from deploying. Be sure to read the Precaution for the SRS (See AIRBAG SYSTEM ).

    NG: REPLACE SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY  (See REMOVAL )

    OK: Go to next Step 

  4. INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH 
    1. Disconnect the z51 switch connector.
