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.

SRS AIRBAG
PRECAUTION
NOTICE:

The TERCEL is equipped with an SRS, which comprises a driver airbag and front passenger
airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Further, if a mis-
take is made in servicing the SRS, it is possible the SRS may fail to operate when required. Be-
fore performing servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replace-
ment), be sure to read the following items carefully, then follow the correct procedure described
in the repair manual.

Malfunction symptoms of the SRS are difficult to confirm, so the DTCs become the most impor-
tant source of information when troubleshooting the SRS, always inspect the DTCs before dis-
connecting the battery.

Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, front
passenger airbag assembly and airbag sensor assembly should be inspected.
(See page RS-9, RS-22, RS-34)

Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.

Never disassemble and repair the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly or air-
bag sensor assembly in order to reuse it.

If the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly or airbag sensor assembly has been
dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace
them with new ones.

Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V minimum) for troubleshooting the system's
electrical circuits.

Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instruction
on the notices.

After work on the SRS is completed, check the SRS warning light. (See page DI-148)

If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the
IN section.
CAUTION:

Work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº position and
the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. (The SRS is equipped with a
back-up power source so that if work is started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the nega-
tive (-) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may be deployed.)

When the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the memory of the clock
and audio system will be canceled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents mem-
orized in the audio memory system. When work is finished, reset the audio systems as before
and adjust the clock. To avoid erasing the memory of each memory system, never use a back-
up power supply from outside the vehicle.

Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during
repairs.

Do not expose the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly or airbag sensor as-
sembly directly to hot air or flames.

BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
Take care to observe the following precautions when performing inspections or removal and replacement
of body electrical related parts.
1. HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special handling. They can burst if scratched or
dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case. Don't touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.
2. SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM)
The TERCEL is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver airbag and front
passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (including re-
moval or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary notices in the
RS section.
3. AUDIO SYSTEM

If the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the preset AM, FM 1 and FM 2 sta-
tions stored in memory are erased, so be sure to note the stations and reset them after the terminal
is reconnected.

If the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the ºANTI-THEFT SYSTEMº will
operate when the cable is reconnected, but the radio, tape player and CD player will not operate. Be
sure to input the correct ID number so that the radio, tape player and CD player can be operated again.
4. MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
