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.

(1) Disconnect the sensor’s connector at the evaporator case,
and by using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.
If the resistance is within
+I 0% of value of the characteris-
tic curve, the sensor is functioning normally.
(2) If the sensor is normal, there is a malfunction of the air
conditioner control unit, and it should be replaced.

denser and low pressure side to the evaporator.)
(2) The indications
“DIS” and “SUC” on the compressor
indicate high and low pressure sides respectively.

LOW CHARGE~
If the system has not lost all of its refrigerant charge; locate and
repair all leaks. If it is necessary to increase the system
pressure to find the leak (because of an especially low charge)
‘iaadd of refrigerant. If it is oossible to reoair the leak without
discharging-the refrigerant system, use the procedure for
correcting low refrigerant level.
HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGSM55FlAFKinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in the refrigerant
hose lines will greatly reduce the capacity of the entire system.
High pressures are produced in the system when it is
operating. Extreme care must be exercised to make sure that
all connections are pressure tight. Dirt and moisture can enter
the system when it is opened for repair or replacement of lines
or components. The following precautions must be observed.
The system must be completely discharged before opening
any fitting of connection in the refrigeration system. Open
fittings with caution even after the system has been dis-
charged. If any pressure is noticed as a fitting is loosened, allow
trapped pressure to bleed off very slowly.
Never attempt to rebend formed lines to fit. Use the correct
line for the installation you are servicing.
A good rule for the flexible hose lines is keep the radius of all
bends at least 10 times the diameter of the hose.
Sharper bends will reduce the flow of refrigerant. The flexible
hose lines should be routed so that they are at least 80 mm (3
in.) from the exhaust manifold. It is good practice to inspect all
flexible hose lines at least once a year to make sure they are in
good condition and properly routed.
\ Aj iUnified plumbing connections with O-rings. These O-rings are

COMPRESSOR NOISEM55FlAD
When investigating an air conditioning related noise, you must
first know the conditions when the noise occurs. These
conditions are: weather, vehicle speed, in gear on neutral,
engine temperature or any other special conditions.
Noises that develop during air conditioning operation can often
be misleading. For example: what sounds like a failed front
bearing or connecting rod. may be caused by loose bolts, nuts,
mounting brackets, or a loose clutch assembly. Verify acces-
sory drive belt tension (power steering or alternator).
Improper accessory drive belt tension can cause a misleading
noise when the compressor is engaged and little or no noise
when the compressor is disengaged.
Drive belts are speed sensitive. That is, at different engine
speeds, and depending upon belt tension, belts can develop
unusual noises that are often mistaken for mechanical prob-
lems within the compressor.
