TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE CHECKM3lFDA.E
Check the inflation pressure of the tires. If it is not within the
standard value, make the necessary adjustment.
TIRE WEAR CHECKMJlFBAC
Measure the tread depth of tires.
Limit: 1.6 mm
(.06 in.)
If the remaining tread depth is less than the limit, replace the
tire.
NOTE
When the tread depth of tire is reduced to 1.6 mm (.06 in.) orless, wear indicator will appear.
WHEEL RUNOUT CHECKM31 FCAEJack up the vehicle so that the wheels are clear of the floor.
While slowly turning the wheel, measure wheel runout with a
dial indicator.
Limit:

If wheel
runout exceeds the limit, replace the wheel.

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.)
SRS ComponentsInspection(when air bag deploys in collision)Inspection (when air bag does not deploy
in low-speed collision)
Front impact sensors
Replace front impact sensors.(Refer to P.52B-56.)(1)Check front upper frame lower and sensor
brackets for deformities or rust.
(2)Check sensor cases for dents, cracks deformi-ties or rust.
(3)Check sensor harnesses for binds, connectors
for damage, and terminals for deformities.
SRS diagnosis unitSDU)Replace SRS diagnosis unit.(Refer to P.52B-59.)(1)Check SDU case and brackets for dents, cracksor deformities.(2)Check connectors and lock lever for damage,and terminals for deformities.
jir bag moduleReplace air bag module.(Refer to P.52B-62.)(1)Check pad cover for dents, cracks or deformi-ties.
(2)Remove air bag module from steering wheel.
Check hooks and connector for damage, termi-
nals for deformities, and harness for binds.
(Refer to P.52B-62.)(3)Check air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or
deformities.
(4)Install air bag module to steering wheel to.checlfit or alignment with the wheel.

16LOO9'(3) Insert ROM pack into the Multi-use Tester and connect
tester to Diagnosis Check Connector in glove compart-
ment.
(4) Reconnect negative terminal of battery, and turn the
ignition key to the “ON” position.
(5) Conduct self-diagnosis using Multi-use Tester to ensure
entire SRS operates properly, except open circuit of air bag
module (“22. SQUIB TRBL 2”). (Refer to
P.52B-18.)(6) Turn 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.
11. INSTALLATION OF CLOCK SPRINGAlign the mating mark and “NEUTRAL” position indicator of
the clock spring, and, after turning the front wheels to the
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.
9. CLOCK SPRING AND SRS DIAGNOSIS UNIT CONNEC-
TIONAfter securely and correctly installing the clock spring’s
connector to the SRS diagnosis unit, be absolutely sure to
press down the lock lever of the SRS diagnosis unit.
13R072113R072;8. INSTALLATION OF STEERING WHEEL
(1) Before installing the steering wheel, be sure to first turn
the vehicle’s front wheels to the straight-ahead position
and align the mating mark and “NEUTRAL” position
indicator of the clock spring.
Caution
Be sure when installing the steering wheel, that the
harness of the clock spring does not become caughtor tangled.
(2) After clamping, turn the steering wheel all the way in
both directions to confirm that steering is normal.
