GENERAL ± Precautions Before Service00-25
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE00100050144
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
1. Items to follow when servicing SRS
(1) Be sure to read GROUP 52B ± Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
For safe operations, please follow the directions and heed all warnings.
(2) Always use the designated special tools and test equipment.
(3) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cable before doing any further work.
The SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag even after the battery
has been disconnected. Serious injury may result from unintended air bag deployment if work
is done on the SRS system immediately after the battery cable is disconnected.
(4) Never attempt to disassembly or repair the SRS components, (SRS diagnosis unit, air bag module
and clock spring). If faulty, replace it.
(5) Warning labels must be heeded when servicing or handling SRS components. Warning labels
are located in the following locations.

Hood

Sun visor

Glove box

SRS diagnosis unit

Steering wheel

Air bag module

Clock spring

Frame
(6) Store components removed from the SRS in a clean and dry place.
The air bag module should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad surface is
facing upward.
Do not place anything on top of it.
(7) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing of the air bag module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag. (Refer to GROUP 52B ± Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.)
(8) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check the SRS warning lamp operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.
2. Observe the following when carrying out operations on places where SRS components are installed,
including operations not directly related to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts do not allow any impact or shock to the SRS components.
(2) SRS components should not be subjected to heat over 93C, so remove the SRS components
before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
After re-installing them, check the SRS warning lamp operation to make sure that the system
functions properly.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 28
Power steering fluid pressure switch system
Probable cause
The presence or absence of power steering load is input to the engine-ECU.
The engine-ECU controls the idle speed control (ISC) servo based on this input.
Malfunction of power steering fluid pressure switch

Improper connector contact, open circuit or
short-circuited harness wire

Malfunction of the engine-ECU
Check the power steering fluid pressure switch.
