TRIM CLIP REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
PROCE-DURES
The type of clip shown in the illustration, which is used for the
Eli ~
installation of instrument panel, should be removed and
installed by the following procedures described below.
REMOVAL
(1) Use a cross-tip (+) screwdriver to push inward the pin (at
the center of the trim clip) to a depth of about 2 mm
(.08
in.).(2) Pull the trim clip outward to remove it.
Caution
Do not push the pin inward more than necessary
because it may damage the grommet, or the pin may
fall in, if pushed too far.
INSTALLATION
(1) With the pin pulled out, insert the trim clip into the hole in
the trim.
(2) Push the pin inward until the pin’s head is flush with the
grommet.
(3) Check whether the trim is secure.

52B-2SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) - General informationGENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTIONThe Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is de-
signed to supplement the driver’s seat belt to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver by
activating and deploying a driver’s-side air bag in
certain frontal collisions.
The SRS consists of: left front and right front impact
sensors located, one each, on the right and left front
upper frame lowers; an air bag module located in
the center of the steering wheel, which contains the
folded air bag and an inflator unit; the SRS diagnosis
unit located under the rear console assembly, which
monitors the system, and which contains a safing
impact sensor; an SRS warning light located on the
instrument panel, which indicates the operational
status of the SRS; a clock spring interconnection
located within the steering column; system wiring
and wiring connectors; and a knee bolster located
SRS warning light
M52BAAFunder the steering column.
The SRS is designed so that the air bag will deploy
when the safing sensor, plus either or both of the
left front and right front impact sensors simul-
taneously activate while the ignition switches
“ON”.
That is designed to occur in frontal or near-frontal
impacts of moderate to severe force.
Only authorized service personnel should do work
on or around the SRS components. Those service
personnel should read this manual carefully before
starting any such work. Extreme care must be used
whenservicing the SRS, to avoid injury to the
service personnel (by inadvertent deployment of the
air bag) or the driver (by rendering the SRS inopera-
tive).
SELF-DIAGNOSIS/SRS WARNING LIGHT FUNCTION
The diagnosis unit monitors the SRS system and stores data
concerning any detected faults in the system. When the
ignition key is in “ON” or “START” position, the SRS warning
light should illuminate for about 7 seconds and then turn off.
That indicates that the SRS system is in operational order. If the
SRS warning light does any of the following, immediate
inspection by an authorized dealer is needed.
(1) The SRS warning light does not illuminate as described
above.
(2) The SRS warning light stays on for more than 7 seconds.
(3) The SRS warning light illuminates while driving.
If a vehicle’s SRS warning light is in any of these three
conditions when brought in for inspection, the SRS system
must be inspected, diagnosed and serviced
In accordance wrth
this manual.

(6) Remove the steering wheel by using a steering wheel
puller.
CautionDo not hammer on the steering wheel. Doing so may
damage the collapsible column mechanism.
(7) Remove the steering column covers. (Refer to GROUP 52A

(8) Remove the clock spring. (Refer to
P.52B-62.)
(9) Check clock spring connectors and protective tube for
damage, and terminals for deformities.
(10)Visually check the clock spring case and the gears for
damage.(1 l)Align the mating mark and “NEUTRAL” position indicator
and, after turning the vehicle’s front wheels to straight-
ahead position, install the clock spring to the column
switch.
CautionIf the clock spring’s mating mark is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not be completely
rotational during a turn, or the flat cable within the
clock spring may be severed, obstructing normal
operation of the SRS and possibly leading to serious
injury to the vehicle’s driver.

If faulty, replace it.
2. Do not drop the air bag module or clock
spring or allow contact with water, grease or
oil.Replace it if a dent, crack, deformation or
rust are detected.
3.The air bag module should be stored on a flat
surface and placed so that the pad surface isfacing upward.
