This is how it all began. Few days ago My dash was worked on by friends/the shop. Steering wheel was taken out. After Dash done, Steering wheel was put back. While driving home, I found out that the steering wheel (center "A") had to be pointed at 11 o'clock for the car to drive straight. If let go, the wheel would stay at 11 o'clock and car would go straight(so I know it's not alignment or tires). When I turned my steering wheel ALL the way to the LEFT or RIGHT, the center("A") would point at 5 O'clock either way. which is not normal because it should be 7'ocl and 5'ocl respectively.

Took it back, Recenter the steering wheel. Wheel was straight that day/night. BUT the center ("A") now points at 6 O'clock when I turned the wheel all the way LEFT or RIGHT. Next day when I tried to drive car, SRS light came on and off(with a beep first) WHENEVER I tried to move the steering wheel right or left, ESPECIALLY to the right. Even when idling.

Took it back once again. Removed steering wheel, Reinstalled, this time the SRS lights just stayed ON. ALWAYS on now.

What could be the problem? sensors? the connectors? airbags? toes?
the shop told me the problem is #4(in the pic),Reel assay damaged?

 

I think that it is a cable reel. It will go out, if it turns in the state where it shifted after removing a wheel. Since the operation range of a reel is restricted. It will go out simply.

Probably, it turns out that it checks with such a PGM tester.

I've had this problem ever since my swap, the SRS light won't go off (98 EX w/ 95 B18B and AEM EMS) I did an auto to manual swap also and diconnected the steerin linkage, and took out the key lock (so I can take key out)

will the PGM tester tell me whats wrong with the system, I have tried the reset trick but it opos back on.
