(7) When checking continuity at the wire connector, in-
sert the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals
from bending.
(8) When using a vacuum gauge, never force the hose onto a connector that is too large. Use a step −down
adapter for adjustment. Once the hose has been
stretched, it may leak air.
(m) Installation and removal of vacuum hose: (1) When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to
identify how they should be reconnected to.
(2) After completing a job, double check that the vacu-
um hoses are properly connected. A label under the
hood shows the proper layout.
(n) Unless otherwise stated, all resistance is measured at an
ambient temperature of 20° C (68°F). Because the resis-
tance may be outside specifications if measured at high
temperatures immediately after the vehicle has been run-
ning, measurement should be made when the engine has
cooled down.

FOR ALL OF VEHICLES
PRECAUTION
1. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG AND
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
(a) The LAND CRUISER is equipped with an SRS (Supple-
mental Restraint System), such as the driver airbag and
front passenger airbag assembly.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct se-
quence could cause the supplemental restraint system to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to
a serious accident.
Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supplemental
restraint system, it is possible the SRS may fail to operate
when required. Before servicing (including removal or
installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure
to read the following items carefully, then follow the cor-
rect procedure described in this manual.
(b) GENERAL NOTICE (1) Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental re-straint system are difficult to confirm, so the diag-
nostic trouble codes become the most important
source of information when troubleshooting. When
troubleshooting the supplemental restraint system,
always inspect the diagnostic trouble codes before
disconnecting the battery (See page DI−240).
(2) Work must be started after 90 seconds from the
time the ignition switch is turned to the ”LOCK” posi-
tion and the negative ( −) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery.
(The supplemental restraint system is equipped
with a back−up power source so that if work is
started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the neg-
ative (−) terminal cable from the battery, the SRS
may deploy.)
When the negative (−) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery, memory of the clock and
audio systems will be cancelled. So before starting
work, make a record of the contents memorized by
the each memory system. Then when work is fin-
ished, reset the clock and audio systems as before.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory sys-
tem, never use a back− up power supply from anoth-
er battery.

(3) Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS
does not deploy, the steering wheel pad (See page
RS−9) and front passenger airbag assembly (See
page RS−23 ) should be inspected.
(4) Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
(5) Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks
are likely to be applied to the sensor during repairs.
(6) Never disassemble and repair the airbag sensor as-
sembly, steering wheel pad or front passenger air-
bag assembly in order to reuse them.
(7) If the airbag sensor assembly, steering wheel pad
or front passenger airbag assembly have been
dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other de-
fects in the case, bracket or connector, replace
them with new ones.
(8) Do not directly expose the airbag sensor assembly, steering wheel pad or front passenger airbag as-
sembly to hot air or flames.
(9) Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kΩ/V
minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical cir-
cuit.
(10) Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instructions on the
notices.
(11) After work on the supplemental restraint system is completed, check the SRS warning light (See page
DI−240 ).
(c) SPIRAL CABLE (in Combination Switch) The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the steering
column with the spiral cable at the neutral position, other-
wise cable disconnection and other troubles may result.
Refer to SR−19 of this manual concerning correct steer-
ing wheel installation.

(d) STEERING WHEEL PAD (with Airbag)
(1) When removing the steering wheel pad or handlinga new steering wheel pad, it should be placed with
the pad top surface facing up.
Storing the pad with its metallic surface facing up-
ward may lead to a serious accident if the airbag in-
flates for some reason. In addition do not store a
steering wheel pad on top of another one.
(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib. (This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very
dangerous.)
(3) Grease should not be applied to the steering wheel
pad and the pad should not be cleaned with deter-
gents of any kind.
(4) Store the steering wheel pad where the ambient temperature remains below 93 °C (200° F), without
high humidity and away from electrical noise.
(5) When using electric welding, first disconnect the air-
bag connector (yellow color and 2 pins) under the
steering column near the combination switch con-
nector before starting work.
(6) When disposing of a vehicle or the steering wheel pad alone, the airbag should be deployed using an
SST before disposal (See page RS−11).
Perform the operation in a safe place away from
electrical noise.

(e) FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
(1) Always store a removed or new front passenger air-
bag assembly with the airbag deployment direction
facing up.
Storing the airbag assembly with the airbag deploy-
ment direction facing down could cause a serious
accident if the airbag inflates.
(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib. (This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very
dangerous.)
(3) Grease should not be applied to the front passen- ger airbag assembly and the airbag door should not
be cleaned with detergents of any kind.
(4) Store the airbag assembly where the ambient tem- perature remains below 93 °C (200° F), without high
humidity and away from electrical noise.
(5) When using electric welding, first disconnect the air-
bag connector (yellow color and 2 pins) installed on
the assembly before starting work.
(6) When disposing of a vehicle or the airbag assembly
alone, the airbag should be deployed using an SST
before disposal (See page RS−25).
Perform the operation in a safe place away from
electrical noise.

(f) AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly should be
connected or disconnected with the sensor mounted on
the floor. If the connectors are connected or disconnected
while the airbag sensor assembly is not mounted to the
floor, it could cause undesired ignition of the supplemen-
tal restraint system.
(g) WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR The SRS wire harness is integrated with the cowl wire har-
ness assembly and floor wire harness assembly. The
wires for the SRS wire harness are encased in a yellow
corrugated tube. All the connectors for the system are
also a standard yellow color. If the SRS wire harness be-
comes disconnected or the connector becomes broken
due to an accident, etc., repair or replace it as shown on
page RS−37 .
