SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS)

1. Items to follow 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.

• Hood

• Front impact sensor, side impact sensor

• Sun visor

• Glove box

• SRS-ECU

• Steering wheel

• Air bag module, side−airbag modules

• Clock spring

• Steering gear box

• Seat belt pre-tensioner

(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,
clock spring and seat belt pre-tensioner). 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, Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures

P.52B-234

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 the SRS components.

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

remove the SRS components. After
re-installing them, check the SRS warning light
operation to make sure that the system
functions properly.

• • SRS-ECU, air bag module, clock spring: 93°C

(200

°F) or more

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

CAUTION

• Before connecting or disconnecting the negative bat-

tery cable, be sure to turn off the ignition switch and
the lights. (If this is not done, there is the possibility of
semiconductor parts being damaged.)

• After completion of the work steps (when the negative

battery terminal is connected), warm up the engine and
allow it to idle for approximately 10 minutes under the
conditions described below in order to stabilize engine
control conditions, and then check to be sure that the
idling is satisfactory.

2. When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the

negative cable terminal from the battery.

Engine coolant temperature: 85

− 95°C (185 − 203°F)

Lights and all accessories: OFF
Transmission: N or P position
Steering wheel: straight-forward position

VEHICLE WASHING

If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to maintain the
spray nozzle at a distance of at least approximately 40cm (16
inches) from any plastic parts and all opening parts (doors, lug-
gage compartment, etc.).

APPLYING ANTI-CORROSION AGENT OR OTHER
UNDERCOAT AGENTS

sensor. If adhered, the sensor may malfunction. Protect the
heated oxygen sensor with a cover before applying anti-corro-
sion agent, etc.
