SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) - ~~~-~~~~~a~~g~~~s 52B-552. Repair Procedure
(1) If air bag deployed in the collision, remove the deployed
air bag module. (Refer to
P.52B-62.)(2) Check the SRS components using the table shown
below.
If the SRS components are showing any visible damage
such as dents, cracks, or deformation, replace them
with new ones.
Refer to appropriate INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT SER-
VICE, P.52B-56.
(3) Conduct self-diagnosis using Multi-use Tester to ensure
entire SRS operates properly except open circuit of air
bag module (22. SQUIB TRBL 2).
(4) Install new air bag module. (Refer to
P.52B-62.)

INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT SERVICEIf the SRS components are to be removed or replaced as a result of maintenance, troubleshooting, etc.,
follow each procedure
(P.52B-56 - P.52B-68).L++(
Caution
1.SW components should not be subjected to heat over 93°C (2OO”F), so remove the front impactsensors, SRS diagnosis unit and air bag module and clock spring before drying or baking the
vehicle after painting. Recheck SRS system operability after re-installing them.
2.If the SRS components are removed for the purpose of check, sheet metal repair, painting, etc.,they should be stored in a clean, dry place until they are reinstalled.
FRONT IMPACT SENSORS
Caution1. Never repair or disassemble a front impact
sensor. If faulty, replace it.
2.Handle the front impact sensors very careful-
ly, taking care not to drop them or otherwise
subject them to impact. If a sensor is seen tobe dented, cracked, deformed or rusted,
replace it with a new one.
3.Replace sensors with new ones after the air
bag has deployed.

SERVICE POINTS OF REMOVAL1. DISCONNECTION OF THE NEGATIVE
(-) BATTERY
CABLE FROM THE BATTERYTurn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position, disconnect
the negative battery cable and tape the terminal.
Caution
Wait at least 30 seconds after disconnecting the battery
cable before doing any further work. The SRS system is
designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bagfor a short time even after the battery has been
disconnected, so serious injury may result from unin-
tended air bag deployment if work is done on the SRSsystem immediately after the battery cable is discon-
nected.
INSPECTION
(I) Check upper frame and sensor brackets for deformities or
rust.
(2) Check sensor harness for binds, connectors for damage,
and terminals for deformities.
(3) Check for dents, cracks or deformation of the front impact
sensor.
Caution
If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected, replacewith a
.new sensor.
(4) Remove the front impact sensor.
(5) Measure the resistance between terminals and check
whether it is within the standard value.
Standard value: 2,000 + 40
iZ
CautionAlways replace the sensor with a new one if the
resistance is not within the standard value.

lever of the SRS diagnosis unit to unlock the lock lever.
CautionA double-lock mechanism is employed for the
connector of the SRS diagnosis unit, so care mustbe taken not to damage the connector by using
excessive force or by not disconnecting it correctly.(2) Remove each connector from the SRS diagnosis unit
while pressing down the lock of each connector. (Refer
to
P.52B-9.)
INSPECTIONlCheck the SRS diagnosis unit case and brackets for dents,
cracks or deformities.
lCheck connectors and lock lever for damage, and terminals
for deformities.
CautionIf a dent, cracks, deformation or rust discovered,
replace the SRS diagnosis unit with a new one.
NOTEFor checking of the SRS diagnosis unit other than described
above, refer to the section concerning troubleshooting.

SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTIONBefore SRS diagnosis unit is installed in the vehicle, it must be
visually inspected. If a dent, crack or other deformation is
detected, discard the SRS diagnosis unit and replace it with a
new one that passes the visual inspection.
6. INSTALLATION OF SRS DIAGNOSIS UNIT
With the projection part of the SRS diagnosis unit placed
against the bracket as shown in the figure, securely install
the SRS diagnosis unit.
CautionThe SRS may not activate properly if SRS diagnosis
unit is not installed properly, which could result in
serious injury or death to the vehicle’s driver.
5. CONNECTION OF THE SRS DIAGNOSIS UNIT AND
EACH HARNESS CONNECTORAfter connecting each harness connector securely and
correctly to the SRS diagnosis unit, be sure to press down
the lock lever of the SRS diagnosis unit.
POST INSTALLATION INSPECTION
Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the ignition
switch to “ON”. Does the “SRS” warning light illuminate for
about 7 seconds, turn OFF and then remain extinguished for at
least 45 seconds? If yes, SRS system is functioning properly. If
no, consult page
52B-17.

air bag module or clock spring.
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.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION1

4.Do not expose the air bag module to temper-ILJ
ature over 93°C (200°F).
5After an air bag has deployed, replace with anew air bag module and check the SRS
operability.6. Wear gloves and safety glasses when han-
dling an air bag that has already deployed.

SERVICE POINTS OF REMOVAL1. DISCONNECTION OF THE NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY
CABLE FROM THE BATTERYTurn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position, disconnect
the negative battery cable and tape the terminal.
Caution
Wait at least 30 seconds after disconnecting the battery
cable before doing any further work. The SRS system is
designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bagfor a short time even after the battery has been
disconnected, so serious injury may result from unin-
tended air bag deployment if work is done on the SRSsystem immediately after the battery cable is discon-
nected.2. REMOVAL OF AIR BAG MODULE
(1) Remove the air bag module mounting nut using a
socket wrench from the back side.
(2) When disconnecting the connector of the clock spring
from the air bag module, press the air bag’s lock toward
the outer side to spread it open. Use a screwdriver, as
shown in the figure at the left, to pry so as to remove
the connector gently.
CautionWhen disconnecting the air bag module-clock
spring connector, take care not to apply excessiveforce to it.
(3) The removed air bag module should be stored in a
clean, dry place with the pad cover face up.
8. REMOVAL OF STEERING WHEEL
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.
9. DISCONNECTION OF THE SRS DIAGNOSIS UNIT AND
CLOCK SPRING CONNECTION
(1) Remove the rear console assembly.
(Refer to GROUP 52A
- Floor Console.)
(2) Use a screwdriver to push in the lock spring of the lock
lever of the SRS diagnosis unit to unlock the lock lever.
Caution
A double-lock mechanism is employed for the connec-
tor of the SRS diagnosis unit, so care must be taken notto damage it by using excessive force or by not
disconnecting it correctly.
