(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.

BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
Take care to observe the doing 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 SUPRA 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 battery
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
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to precautions in the IN section.

AUDIO SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
1. RADIO WAVE BAND
2. SERVICE AREA
There are great differences in the size of the service area for AM
and FM monaural. Sometimes FM stereo broadcasts cannot be
received even through AM can be received in very clearly.
Not only does FM stereo have the smallest service area, but it
also picks up static and other types of interference (ºnoiseº)
easily.
3. RECEPTION PROBLEMS
Besides the problem of static, there are also the problems
called ºfadingº, ºmultipathº and ºfade outº. These problems are
caused not by electrical noise but by the nature of the radio
waves themselves.
(a) Fading
Besides electrical interference, AM broadcasts are also
susceptible to other types of interference, especially at
night. This is because AM radio waves bounce off the ion-
osphere at night. These radio waves then interfere with
the signals from the same transmitter that reach the ve-
hicle's antenna directly. This type of interference is called
ºfadingº.

(b) Multipath
One type of interference caused by the bounce of radio
waves off of obstructions is called ºmultipathº. Multipath
occurs when a signal from the broadcast transmitter an-
tenna bounces off buildings and mountains and interferes
with the signal that is received directly.
(c) Fade Out
Because FM radio waves are of higher frequencies than
AM radio waves, they bounce off buildings, mountains,
and other obstructions. For this reason, FM signals often
seem to gradually disappear or fade away as the vehicle
goes behind a building or other obstruction. This is called
ºfade outº.
4. COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Compact Disc (hereafter called ºCDº) Players use a laser beam
pick-up to read the digital signals recorded on the CD and re-
produce analog signals of the music, etc. There are 4.7 in. (12
cm) and 3.2 in. (8 cm) discs in the CD player.
HINT:
Never attempt to disassemble or oil any part of the player unit.
Do not insert any object other than a disc into the magazine.
NOTICE:
CD players use an invisible laser beam which could cause
hazardous radiation exposure. Be sure to operate the play-
er correctly as instructed.
5. Tape Player/Head Cleaning:
MAINTENANCE
(a) Raise the cassette door with your finger.
Next, using a pencil or similar object, push in the guide.
(b) Using a cleaning pen or cotton applicator soaked in clean-
er, clean the head surface, pinch rollers and capstans.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTICE:
When replacing the internal mechanism (computer part) of the audio system, be careful that no part
of your body or clothing comes in contact with the terminals of the leads from the IC, etc. of the re-
placement part (spare part).
HINT:
This inspection procedure is a simple troubleshooting which should be carried out on the vehicle during sys-
tem operation and was prepared on the assumption of system component troubles (except for the wires and
connectors, etc.).
Always inspect the trouble taking the following items into consideration.
