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.

OPERATION CHECK OF THE COMPRESSOR’S MAGNETIC
CLUTCH
(1) Connect terminal @ at the compressor side to the positive
(+) terminal of the battery, and ground the negative (-)terminal of the battery to the compressor.
(2) The condition of the compressor’s magnetic clutch can beconsidered satisfactory if the operation sound (a “click”
sound) of the magnetic clutch can be heard when this
check is made.
SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATIONM55SDAF5. INSTALLATION OF COMPRESSOR
If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of
oil according to the procedures described below, and then
install the compressor.(1) Measure the amount (X cc) of oil within the removed
compressor.
(2) Wipe away (from the new compressor) the amount ofoil calculated according to the following formula, and
then install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount
160 cc (9.8 cu.in.) - X cc= Y cc
NOTE
Y cc indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant line,l/jthe condenser, the cooling unit, etc.
