PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE

CAUTIONS FOR WORKING IN ENGINE 
COMPARTMENT

M1001016800022

WARNING

Just after the ignition switch is turned to "LOCK" 
(OFF) position, the adjustments must always be made 
with the cooling fan stopped. After the ignition switch 
is turned to "LOCK" (OFF) position, the cooling fan 
might be driven for a few minutes by the after run fan 
control. If the adjustments are made with the cooling 
fan driven, injury or damage may occur.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

M1001011600636

1. Items to review when servicing SRS:

(1) Be sure to read GROUP 52B, Supplemental 

Restraint System (SRS). For safe operation, 
please follow the directions and heed all 
warnings.

(2) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting 

the battery cable before doing any further 
work. The SRS system is designed to retain 
enough voltage to deploy the air bag even 
after the battery has been disconnected. 
Serious injury may result from unintended air 
bag deployment if work is done on the SRS 
system immediately after the battery cable is 
disconnected.

(3) Warning labels must be heeded when 

servicing or handling SRS components. 
Warning labels can be found in the following 
locations.
• Air bag module (Driver's or front 

passenger's)
• Clock spring
• SRS-ECU
• Knee air bag module
• Sun visor
• Seat belt pre-tensioner
• Side-airbag module (Driver's side and front 

passenger's side)
• Curtain air bag module (Driver's side and 

front passenger's side)
• Center pillar (Driver's side and front 

passenger's side)
• Glove box

(4) Always use the designated special tools and 

test equipment.

(5) Store components removed from the SRS in a 

clean and dry place. The air bag module 
should be stored on a flat surface and placed 
so that the pad surface is facing upward.

(6) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the 

SRS components (SRS-ECU, air bag module 
and clock spring). If there is a defect, replace 
the defective part.

(7) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check 

the SRS warning light operation to make sure 
that the system functions properly.

(8) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing 

of the air bag module or disposing of a vehicle 
equipped with an air bag (Refer to GROUP 
52B 

P.52B-417

, Air Bag Module Disposal 

Procedures).

2. Observe the following when carrying out 

operations on places where SRS components are 
installed, including operations not directly related 
to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts, do not allow 

any impact or shock to occur to the SRS 
components.

(2) If heat damage may occur during paint work, 

remove the SRS-ECU, the air bag module, 
clock spring, the front impact sensor, the side 
impact sensor, and the seat belt pre-tensioner.

• SRS-ECU, air bag module, clock spring, front 

impact sensor, the side impact sensor: 93 

° C 

(200 

° F) or more

• Seat belt pre-tensioner: 90 ° C (194 ° F) or more
