- Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds. Remove steering wheel pad. See STEERING WHEEL PAD & SPIRAL CABLE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
- Disconnect center air bag sensor connector. Measure resistance between terminals of spiral cable upper connector. If resistance is less than one ohm, go to step 5). If resistance is one or more ohm, disconnect spiral cable lower connector.
- Measure resistance between terminals of spiral cable upper connector. If resistance is one or more ohm, replace spiral cable. If resistance is less than one ohm, measure resistance between terminals of spiral cable lower connector (connector half that leads to center air bag sensor).
- If resistance is less than one ohm, go to next step. If resistance is one ohm or more, replace harness between center air bag sensor and spiral cable.
- Reconnect center air bag sensor connector. Reconnect spiral cable lower connector. Connect a jumper wire between terminals of spiral cable upper connector. Reconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 2 seconds.
- Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Clear codes. See CLEARING CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds.
- Use Wiring Check Harness (09843-18020) to connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC. See Figure. If CODE 14 is displayed, replace center air bag sensor. If CODE 14 is not displayed, turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds.
- Reconnect spiral cable upper connector (steering wheel pad). Reconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 2 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Clear codes. See CLEARING CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds.
- Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. If CODE 14 is displayed, replace steering wheel pad. If CODE 14 is not displayed, system is functioning properly at this time. Check for intermittent fault. See AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENT under DIAGNOSIS.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
