CHECK THE SRS COMPONENTS.
If the SRS components are showing any visible damage such as dents, cracks, or deformation, replace them with new ones. Concerning parts removed for inspection, replacement with new parts and cautionary points for working, refer to appropriate Service and Repair article for that component.




SRS AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (SRS-ECU)
1. Check SRS-ECU case and brackets for dents, cracks or deformation.
2. Check connector for damage, and terminals for deformation.







AIR BAG MODULE
1. Check pad cover for dents, cracks or deformation.
2. Check for connector damage, deformed terminal, and binding harness.
3. Check air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformation.
4. Install air bag module to steering wheel to check fit or alignment with the wheel.




CLOCK SPRING
1. Check clock spring connectors and protective tube for damage, and terminals for deformation.
2. Visually check the case for damage.


STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN AND INTERMEDIATE JOINT
1. Check wiring harness (built into steering wheel) and connectors for damage, and terminals for deformation.
2. Install air bag module to check fit or alignment with steering wheel.
3. Check steering wheel for noise, binding, difficult operation, or excessive free play.

HARNESS CONNECTOR (BODY AND FRONT WIRING HARNESS)
Check for binding harness, connector damage, poor connections, and deformed terminals.
