1998 ACURA INTEGRA ECU

Before scrapping any airbags (including those in a whole
car ro be scrappedl, the airbags must be deployed. lf the
car is still within the warranty period, before you deploy
the airbags, the Acura District Technical Manager mustgive approval and/or special instructions. Only after theairbags have been deployed (as the result of vehicle colli-
sion, for example). can they be scrapped.
lf the airbags appear intact (not deployed). treat themwith extreme caution.
Follow this procedure:
Deploying the Airbags: In"vehicle
NOTE: lf an SRS vehicle is to be entirely scrapped. itsairbags should be deployed while still in the vehicle. Theairbags should not be considered as salvageable parts
and should never be installed in another vehicle.
E@ Contirm that each airbsg is securelymounted; otherwise, severe personal iniury could resultfrom deployment.
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable, then discon-nect the positive cable.
2. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly
by following the check procedure on the label onthe tool or on page 23-321.
Driver's Airbag:
3. Remove the access panel, then disconnect the 2pconnector between the driver's airbag and the cablereel.

Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool:
. lf the green light on the tool comes on, the alr-
bag igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy
the airbag. Go to Damaged Airbag Specia I
Procedure.
. lfthe red light on the tool comes on, the airbag is
ready to be deployed.
Push the tool's deployment switch The airbag
should deploy (deployment is both highly audible
and visible; a loud noise and rapid inflation of the
bag, followed by slow deflation).
. lf the airbags deploy and the green light on the
tool comes on, continue with this procedure
. lf an airbag doesn't deploy. yet the green light
comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to Dam-
aged Airbag Special Procedure.
!!@ During deployment, the airbag c8n
become hot enough to burn you Wait thirtY min-
ut€s after d€ployment befote touching the assem-
blv.
Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be
reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag, and seal it
securery.
CAUTION:
. wear a lace shield and gloves when handling a
deployed airbag.
. Wash your hands and rinse them well with
water after handling a deployed sirbag
)
Deploying the Airbag: Out-ot-vehicle
NOTE: lf an intact airbag has been removed from a
scraDDed vehicle, or has been found defective or dam-
aged during transit, storage or service, it should be
deoloved as follows:
@@ Position th€ airbag laca up. outdoors on
tlat ground at l€ast thirty leet (10 m) ftom any obstacles
or people.
1. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly
by tollowing the check procedure on thls page or on
the tool lab€|.
2. Follow steps 5, 6, 7, and 8 ol the in.vehicle deploy'
ment orocedure.
Damaged Airbag Sp€citl Procedurc
!@ [ an airbag cannot be d.ploytd, h 3hoold
not be lreated as normal scrap; it should 3till b. corlrkl
ered a polentially sxplosive device that can clura tari
ous iniury.
1. lf installed in a vehicle, follow the removal proce-
dure on page 23-317.
2. ln all cases, make sure a short connector is properly
installed on the airbag connector.
3. Package the airbag in exactly the same packaging
that the new replacement part came In.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG
NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused with
your Parts stock.
5. Contact your Acura District Technical lvanager for
how and where to return it for disposal.
Deployment Tool: Ch€ck Ptocedure
1. Connect the yellow clips to both switch protector
handles on the tool; connect the tool to a battery
2. Push the operation switch: green means the tool is
OK; red means the tool is faultv.
3. Disconnect the battery and the yellow clips

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture
of how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on.
From Battery to lgnition Switch, Fuses, and Relays
lndividual circuit schematics begin with a fuse. The first half of Power Distribution, however,
shows the wiring "upstream" between the battery and the f uses.

How To Use This Manual
Symbols
Ground - "G"
This symbol means the end of
the wire is attached (grounded) Ito the car frame or to a metal Ipart connected to the f rame. \I orol
,
Each wire ground (G) ," -/numbered for reference.
Q,(Switches
These switches move
together; the broken straight
line between them means thev
are mechanically connected.
Other types of switches are
controlled by a coil or a solid
state circuit. Unless otherwise
noted, all switches are shown
in their normal (rest) position,
with power off .
This ground symbol (dot
and 3 lines) overlapping the
component means the housing
of the component is grounded
to the car f rame or to a metal
part connected to the f rame.
This symbol represents
the bus bar inside a ground
connector. The dots a

lermtnals connectto. -'--'-:t"'--------<
The ground symbol (large dot)
: Gsoo
is the connection between the
bus bar and metal (grounded)
part of the car.
Terminals - "T"
m
ffi
Solid-state
Fuses
This means power is supplied
when the ignition switch is in ON (ll).
Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one
way valve. lt allows current to
flow only in the dlrection of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse
currenl at normal voltages just like
a rectifier diode. At high voltages,
however, a Zener diode allows
current to flow in reverse.
Q,(
Each 'T" terminal (ring type)
is numbered for reference ano
location. A "T" terminal is
secured with a screw or bolt.
Shielding
This represents RFI
(Radio Frequency
Interf erence) shielding
around a wire. The
shielding is always
connected to ground.

Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem
circuit to check the accuracy of the customer
complaint. Note the symptoms. Do not begin
disassembly or testing until you have
narrowed down the Problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematlc for the problem
circuit. Determine how the circuit is
supposed to work by tracing the current
paths from the power source through the
circuit components to ground. Also, trace
circuits that share wiring with the problem
circuit. The names of circuits that share the
same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on' are
referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to
operate any shared circuits you didn't check
in steo 1. lf the shared circuits work, the
shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be
in the wiring used only by the problem
circuit. lf several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and Your
understanding of the circuit's operation,
identify one or more possible causes.
3. lsolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis
you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a
logical, simple procedure is the key to
eff icient troubleshooting. Test for the most
likely cause of failure f irst. Try to make tests
at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified,
make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools
and safe procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired
circuit in all modes to make sure you've
fixed the entife problem. lf the problem was
a blown f use, be sure to test all of the
circuits on that {use. Make sure no new
problems turn up and the original problem
does not recur.
Test Equipment
CAUTION:
Most circuits include solid-state devices.
Test the voltages in these circuits only with
a 1o-megaohm or higher impedance digital
multimeter. Never use a test light or analog
meter on citcuits that contain solid-state
devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a
test light to check for voltage. A test light is
made up of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads
attached. After grounding one lead, touch the
other lead to various points along the circuit
where voltage should be present. The bulb
will go on i{ there is voltage at the point being
tested. lf you need to know how much
voltage is present, use a digital
volVohmmeter (DVOM).
Selt-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for
continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb,
battery, and two leads. To test it, touch the
leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an
unoowered circuit. First, disconnect the
battery, or remove the fuse that feeds the
circuit you are working on. Select two points
in the circuit between which you want to
check continuity. Connect one lead ol the
self-powered test light to each point. lf there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be
completed, and the light will go on.
