FOR ALL OF VEHICLES
PRECAUTION
1. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG AND
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
(a) The TERCEL is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental
Restraint System), such as the driver airbag and front
passenger airbag.
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 negative (-) terminal cable from
the battery (See page DI-148).
(2) Work must be started after 90 seconds from the
time the ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº 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.

(e) Uniformly loosen and remove the 8 No.3 bearing cap
bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
(f) Remove the 4 bearing caps and intake camshaft.
HINT:
If the camshaft is not being lifted out straight and level, reinstall
the bearing cap with the 2 bolts.
Then alternately loosen and remove the 2 bearing cap bolts
with the camshaft gear pulled up.
NOTICE:
Do not pry on or attempt to force the camshaft with a tool
or other object.
(g) Uniformly loosen and remove the 8 No.3 bearing cap
bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
(h) Remove the 4 bearing caps and intake camshaft.
HINT:
If the camshaft is not being lifted out straight and level, reinstall
the bearing cap with the 2 bolts.
Then alternately loosen and remove the 2 bearing cap bolts
with the camshaft gear pulled up.
NOTICE:
Do not pry on or attempt to force the camshaft with a tool
or other object.
30. DISASSEMBLE INTAKE CAMSHAFT

4. INSTALL INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAMSHAFTS
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be kept level while it is being installed. If the
camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the cylinder head
receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, caus-
ing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the follow-
ing steps should be carried out.
(a) Apply engine oil to the thrust portion of intake camshaft.
(b) Place the intake camshaft as shown in the illustration so
that the service bolt of the intake camshaft gears are di-
rectly above.
HINT:
This helps to lift the intake camshaft in a level and uniform man-
ner by pushing No.3 and No.4 cylinder cam lobes of the intake
camshaft toward their vale lifters.
(c) Install the 4 bearing caps in their proper locations.
(d) Temporarily tighten the bearing cap bolts uniformly and
alternately, in several passes, in the sequence shown un-
til the bearing caps are snug with the cylinder head.
