(4) Connector Twin-Lock Mechanism
With this mechanism connectors (male and female
connectors) are locked by 2 locking devices to in-
crease the connection reliability. If the primary lock
is incomplete, ribs interfere and prevent the sec-
ondary lock.
(b) When the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision in the
hatched area (Fig. 1) and the shock is larger than the pre-
determined level, the SRS is activated automatically. A
safing sensor is designed to go on at a smaller decelera-
tion rate than the airbag sensor. As illustrated in Fig. 2,
ignition is caused when current flows to the squib, which
happens when a safing sensor and the deceleration sen-
sor go on simultaneously. When a deceleration force acts
on the sensors, 2 squibs in the driver airbag and front pas-
senger airbag ignite and generate gas. The gas discharg-
ing into the driver airbag and front passenger airbag rap-
idly increases the pressure inside the bags, breaking
open the steering wheel pad and instrument panel door.
Bag inflation then ends, and the bags deflate as the gas
is discharged through discharge holes at the bag's rear or
side.

1. INSPECT TIRE
(a) Check the tires for wear and for the proper inflation pres-
sure.

(b) Check the tire runout.
Tire runout: 1.4 mm (0.055 in.) or less
2. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the Off-the-car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the On-the-car balance.
Imbalance after adjustment: 5.0 g (0.011 lb) or less
3. CHECK WHEEL BEARING LOOSENESS
(a) Check the axle bearing backlash.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
(b) Check the axle hub deviation.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
4. CHECK FRONT SUSPENSION FOR LOOSENESS
5. CHECK STEERING LINKAGE FOR LOOSENESS
6. CHECK BALL JOINT FOR LOOSENESS
7. CHECK SHOCK ABSORBER WORKS PROPERLY
Check for oil leak.
Check mounting bushings for wear.
Check front and rear of the vehicle for bounce.
