Inspection Procedure

NOTE: 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 precautionary notice for the Supplemental Restraint System (See AIRBAG SYSTEM ).
  1. CHECK ILLUMINATION 
    1. Check if the illumination for the multi-display, radio receiver, steering pad switch assembly, glove box, or others (seat heater switch, console box, etc.) comes on when the light control switch is turned to the HEAD or TAIL position.

      Condition Proceed to
      Illumination comes on for all components except steering pad switch. A
      Illumination comes on for all components except multi-display. B
      No illumination comes on (radio receiver, glove box, multi-display, etc.) C
      Illumination comes on only for glove box and steering pad switch. D

    B: Go to step  6

    C:  GO TO LIGHTING SYSTEM

    D: Go to step  8

    A: Go to Next Step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - SPIRAL CABLE) 
    1. Disconnect the spiral cable connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage

    2. Connect the positive (+) lead to terminal IL+2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal EAU of the steering pad switch assembly connector.
    3. Check if the illumination for the steering pad switch assembly comes on.

      OK: Illumination for the steering pad switch assembly comes on. 

    NG: REPLACE STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  4. CHECK SPIRAL CABLE 
    1. Disconnect the steering pad switch assembly and spiral cable connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION REFERENCE CHART

      Tester connection Spiral cable position Specified condition
      EAU-EAU Center Below 1 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right
      IL+2 - IL+2 Center Below 1 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right
      NOTE: 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 article shown in the brackets.
