CAUTION

To prevent damage to M.U.T.-III, always turn the
ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting M.U.T.-III.
3. Connect M.U.T.-III to the diagnosis connector.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
5. Check diagnosis codes using M.U.T.-III to ensure

that the SRS operates properly.
At this time, check that no diagnosis code except
B1400 and B1410 are set.

6. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)

position. Disconnect the negative battery cable
and tape the terminal to prevent accidental
connection and air bags deployment.

>>B<< CLOCK SPRING INSTALLATION

WARNING

Ensure that the clock spring’s mating marks
are properly aligned. If not, the steering
wheel may not rotate completely during a
turn, or the flat cable in the clock spring
could be damaged, This would prevent nor-
mal SRS operation and possibly cause seri-
ous injury to the driver.

Mating marks

Align the mating marks of the clock spring.
<Alignment of mating marks>
1. Turn the clock spring clockwise fully.
2. Turn the clock spring anti-clockwise

approximately three and 1/2 turns to align the
mating marks.

3. Check that the white or yellow roller can be seen

from the window for checking the neutral point
when the mating marks are aligned.
NOTE: If the white or yellow roller cannot be seen
or black roller can be seen, the neutral point is not
aligned correctly.

4. Turn the front wheels to the straight-ahead

position. Then install the clock spring to the
column switch.

>>C<< STEERING WHEEL/DRIVER’S AIR BAG
