Lacoste82 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hey guys! I was hoping that someone might have a bid of experience in replacing the original steering wheel(with airbag) with a momo steering wheel, ofcourse without the airbag. I am aware that if/when i remove the airbag-unit the warninglight might start flashing, and it is ecxatly this i need help avoiding! I have the new steering wheel, and the new "Centerunit-piece", to fit where the old Centerunit and aitbag-unit was(i dont know what its called in english[OOPS][/OOPS]) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beagle Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 hi never done one on supra but done one on calibra with air bag all i did just take out bulb to stop it coming on plus some times on air bag models you mite need to move your horn as well. its different to the ones with no air bag but thats on vauxhalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacoste82 Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yea, i think i might need to remove both the airbag and the horn! The airbag for sure, but im not about the horn...Hoping i can keep the horn! I have seen it done before on an old vauxhall or Opel as its called in Denmark, but that was alot less complicated, than it seems on the supra, as the vauxhall had no aitbag! And its not the actual removal and following fitting of the new steering wheel that im worried about, its the airbag part! Cause what ive been able to find out, is that one might need to install some kind of "plug" for the wirring from the airbag to fit into, so it still receives some kind of signal, So the ECU/on-board computer still think there is an airbag mounted! So ill need to know if that is the case, or if i can just remove the airbagunit without getting any failure notices!? If not, what do i need to install to "satisfy/bypass" the system, so it wont notice that the airbag is missing! :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigs Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 dod anyone find out anymore about this. in the middle of swapping my stock steering wheel with air bag for a momo sterring wheel and theres a bit more to it then I thought lol? Basically got the air bag and steering wheel off, but the part which sits behind the wheel where the new boss kit goes is a bit difficult to remove as I cant get one of the wires off. Alos wondered if anybody found out about whether leaving the connectors off created any problems with the ECU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
