(f) AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
(1) Never reuse the airbag sensor assembly involved
in a collision when the SRS has deployed.
(2) The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly
should be connected or disconnected with the sen-
sor mounted on the floor. If the connectors are con-
nected or disconnected while the airbag sensor as-
sembly is not mounted to the floor, it could cause
undesired ignition of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem.
(3) 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, even if only loosening the
set bolts of the airbag sensor assembly.
(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-38.
2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
If large amounts of unburned gasoline flow into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire hazard. To
prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Avoid spark jump test.
(1) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2) While testing, never race the engine.
(d) Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e) Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off and prolonged braking.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
3. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
(a) For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two-way radios and cellular telephones, ob-
serve the following precautions.
(b) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle's electronic sys-
tem.

POOR RECEPTION
Is the condition bad in comparison with other vehicle?
Are there any additional installation parts?
(Sun shade film, telephone antenna, etc.)
Check if there is any scratch and breaking of a wire on
the glass antenna and the defogger pattern.
(visual check. tester)
(See page BE-56)
Is the contact of the plug jack of the radio OK?
Does the condition get better by using the outer
antenna (such as pillar antenna)?
Is the contact of the antenna terminal on the glass
surface and the defogger terminal?
Is the continuity of the antenna cord OK?
Check the grounding of the antenna, antenna cord,
choke coil, and noise filter. (See page BE-72)
Does the condition get better by exchanging
the choke coil?
Does the condition get better by exchanging the
antenna cord?Take a measure for contact. An electric wave environment.

Check with your paint vendor for VOC compliance information and product availability.
Contact your paint vendor for additional information on application procedures, material
availability and VOC compliant materials. For paint vendor technical service information
telephone numbers, refer to Collision Repair Information Bulletin #77.
POLISHING TIPS
Follow paint vendor recommended baking or air dry times prior to sanding and polishing.
Since this type of paint technology resists scratches, it is important to understand that
sanding and polishing to remove dirt nibs may require additional time.
Use a fine grit sand paper (2000±2500 grit) soaked in a soapy water solution for a
minimum of 1±hour (overnight preferred) to prevent deep scratches and use polishing
materials designed for urethane±type clearcoats.
