Precautions/Procedu res
SRS Unit Precautions
Take extra caro when painting or doing body work in
the area below the dashboard. Avoid direct exposure
of the SRS unit or wiring to heat guns, welding, or
spraying equipment.
Disconnect the airbsg connector(s) before discon-
necting SRS harness connectors (see page 23-2851.
After any degree of frontal body damage, or after a
collision without airbag deployment, inspect the SRS
unit for physical damage. lf it is dented, cracked, or
deformed, reDlace it.
Be sure the SRS unit is installed securelv.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit.
Store the SRS unit in a cool (lass than about
104'F/40"C) and dry (less than 80% humidity, no mois-
ture) place, Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit,
and keeD it awav trom dust.
During installation or r6placement, be careful not to
bump {impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around
the SRS unit. The airbags could accidentally deploy
and cause damsge or injuries,
v
Inspection After Deployment
After a collision in which the airbags w6re deployed,
replace the SRS unit, and inspect the following:
1, Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, don't
repair, any damaged harnesses
2. Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. lf there is any
damage. replace the cable reel.
3. After the vehicle is completely repairod, turn the
ignition switch ON {ll). lf the SRS indicator light
comes on for about six seconds and then goes off,
the SRS system is OK. lf the indicator light does not
function properly. go to SRS Troubleshooting.

Wiring Precautions
. Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.
NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow
outer protective covering.
. Be sure to install ihe harness wires so that they are not
pinched or interfering with other car parts.
. Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and
grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-
metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Backprobing Spring-loaded Lock
Connectors
. When checking voltage or resistance on this type of
connector the first time, it is necessary to remove the
retainer to insert tester probes from the wire side.
NOTE: lt is not necessary to reinstall the removed
retainer; the terminals will stav locked in the connec-
tor housing.
To remove the retainer, insen a flat tip scrGirdr'\/".
between connector body and retainer, and car"fully
ory out the retarner.
NOTE: Take care not to break the conn€ctor.

by covering the lid and dashboard with a cloth. andprying carefully with a flat-tip screwdriver.
NOTE: The lid of the airbag has pawts on its sidewhich attach it to the dashboard.
CAUTION: Be sure to install the SRS wiring so that it isnot pincbed or interfering with other parts.

Circuit Schematics
Each schematic reoresents one circuit.
A circuit's wires and components are
arranged to show current flow, from
power at the top of the page, to ground,
at the bottom.
Other circuits may share power or ground
terminals or wiring with the circuit shown.
A wire that connects one circuit to
another, lor example, is cut short and has
an arrowhead at the end of it pointing in
the direction of current flow. Next to the
arrowhead is the name ol the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To
quickly check shared wiring, check the
operation of a component it serves. lf that
component works, you know the shared
wiring is OK.
All connectors are numbered (C709,
C416, etc.). Below each connector
number (except those for components)
is the number of a ohoto in the back
of the book showing the connector's
location on the car. Connector cavities
are also numbered. The numbering
sequence begins at the top left corner
of the connector as seen from eilher of
the viewpoints shown on page E.
Disregard any numbers molded into the
connector housing.
Wires are identif ied by the abbreviated
names of their colors; the second color is
the color of the stripe. Wires are also
identif ied by their location in a connector.
The number "2" next to the male and
female wire terminals at C416, for
example, means those terminals join in
cavity 2 of connector C41 6.
A complete description of schematic
symbols begins on page @.

Power Distribution Schematics
From Fuses to Relays and Components
The second half of Power Distribution shows the wiring "From Fuses to Relays and
Components." This can speed your troubleshooting by showing which circuits share fuses. lf
Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another circuit share a fuse, check a
component in the other circuit. lf it works, you know the fuse is good and power is available to
the inooerative circuil.

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.
