airbag removal
do you remove the screws in the back of the steering wheel to get the air bag romved?
|
Yep, a 10mm on each side of the wheel (2 total). Then you need a 21mm and a puller to get the steering wheel off.

Replaced Clock Spring - Same problem
I replaced the Clock Spring, and I have the same issue. the light is still on. I only have an ADBII scanner. Do I need an OBDIII to reset the code? Is there anothe way to reset, or should I look elsewhere?
Thanks! |
do you have an original code or any code? The '01 also had issues with the seat belt pretensioners. It's a charge on the seat belt buckle that pulls the seatbelt tighter when the airbag deploys. You can reach under the inner seat shield and wiggle the harness. If the lamp goes off, that is your issue. there is a wiring harness overlay available to correct the connection issue.

seatbelt pretensioner
Thanks for your reply. I'll check that. Do you know if this was a recall item? I was looking in the wrong place. I checked the seatbelt winding mechanism between the doors and saw no electerical connection to it. What is the best way to locate the sensors in the bumper?

No, it wasn't a recall, just kind of an issue you run into now and then. The '01 model year didn't have front impact sensors, they added those to the system in '05. '01 had 3 common issues, clock spring, seat belt pretensioner connection issues and passenger airbag connection issues. Either of the last 2, if you wiggle the connection, the lamp will usually go out temporarily. At least you know what the issue is and can then go from there.

Passenger air bag
What do you recommend for checking the passenger airbag?
Also, if my problem was the clockspring, doesn't the monitor mhave to be reset? Is there a way to do it without a tool? Thanks for all your help. |
