Power Window System
General Description
The circuit consists of the starter switch, (door lock &)
power window switch for each of the front windows,
p o w e r w i n d o w s w i t c h f o r r e a r w i n d o w s a n d p o w e r w i n d o w
motors.
When the starter switch is turned on, the battery voltage is
applied to each of the power window switches through the
circuit breaker and the power window relay on the circuit.
The “Down” switch of the driver’s power window switch
has a built-in function which can be operated by just
touching it.
Accordingly, the window will roll down automatically by
just setting the switch to the “AUTO” position.
When the driver’s power lock switch at the driver side is
depressed, the power source to the passenger’s power
window switches are shut off. So, even if these switches
are operated, the power window motor will not operate.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9J–12
Deployed Air Bag Assembly (Driver Side)
“You should wear gloves and glasses. After the air bag
assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag
may contain solid particulate. This solid particulate
c o n s i s t s p r i m a r i l y o f b y p r oducts of the chemical reaction,
Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds
of Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride, Copper
Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in
amounts of about 1% (each) of the total particulate.”
Deployed Pretensioner Seat Belt.
You should wear gloves and safety glasses. After the
pretensioner seat belt has been deployed, the surface of
the pretensioner seat belt cylinder may heating up.
Air Bag Assembly and/or Pretensioner
Seat Belt Scrapping Procedure.
During the cause of vehicle’s useful life, certain situations
may arise which will necessitate the disposal of a live air
bag and/or pretensioner seat belt. (This information
covers proper procedures for disposing of a live air bag
assembly and/or pretensioner seat belt.)
Before a live air bag assembly can be dispose off, it must
be deployed.
A live air bag assembly and/or pretensioner seat belt
must not be disposed of though normal refuse channels.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL PROCEDURES CAN
RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. AN UNDPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF
THROUGH NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS. THE
UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS
SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS
OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED CONTAINER
IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL. DISPOSAL IN
ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH PROPER
PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF LOCAL
LAW.
In situations which require deployment of a live air bag
assembly, deployment may be accomplished inside or
outside the vehicle. The method employed depends
upon the final disposition of the particular vehicle, as
noted in “Deployment Outside Vehicle” and “Deployment
Inside Vehicle” in this section.
Cautions About Air Bag Deployment And
Disposal
Failure to follow proper procedures could result in
erroneous air bag deployment which may cause personal
injury be sure to follow proper procedures.
1. Turn off (Lock) the ignition switch and disconnect the
minus terminal of the battery, then start the work 15 or
more sec later. (Air bag is designed to work by the
back-up power source even if the battery power
source is cut off at vehicle collision).
2. Be sure not to disassemble the air bag.
3. Do not give an impact to the air bag and bring the air
bag close to magnet. (The air bag could deploy
unexpectedly).4. Place the air bag with its trim cover up.
5. Do not let the air bag deploy directly on the floor. (The
air bag may be blown off 2
3 m (6.5 or 10 feet)).
6. Be sure to install the air bag firmly to a deployment
tool (fixing tool).
7. Set a battery 10 m (33 feet) or more away from the air
bag.
8. Before disconnecting air bag harness, ground the
worker by touching the vehicle outer panel with bare
hand.
9. When connecting or disconnecting the harness, do
not work just in front of the air bag.
10. As deployment gives rise to big sound, warn the
people around against it. Further, try to reduce the
sound by covering the steering wheel or tires, and
shut the vehicle windows in case of deployment
inside the vehicle.
11. As deployment generates smoke, select a well
ventilated place. (In case of deployment indoors,
avoid deployment just under a fire alarm, smoke
sensor, and fluorescent lamps).
12. Be careful not to inhale the smoke after deployment.
13. If part of the vehicle glass is damaged, cover the
vehicle with a car cover to prevent the glass from
braking at the time of deployment.
14. Do not touch the air bag immediately after
deployment, since it remains hot for 30 minutes.
15. Do not water the air bag immediately after
deployment.
16. Wear safety glasses and gloves throughout the work
and wash the glasses and gloves after the work.
17. Do not reuse the removed air bag for another vehicle.
(Deployment characteristic is different with vehicle
types).
Deployment Outside Vehicle (Driver Air
Bag Assembly)
Deployment outside the vehicle is proper when the
vehicle is to be returned to service. This includes, for
example, situations in which the vehicle will be returned to
useful service after a functionally or cosmetically deficient
air bag assembly is replaced. Deployment and disposal
of a malfunctioning air bag assembly is, of course, subject
to any required retention period.
For deployment of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly
outside the vehicle, the deployment procedure must be
followed exactly. Always wear safety glasses during this
deployment procedure until a deployed air bag assembly
is scrapped or until an undeployed air bag assembly is
shipped. Before performing the procedures you should
be familiar with servicing the SRS and with proper
handling of the air bag assembly. Procedures should be
read fully before they are performed.
The following procedure requires use of 5–8840–2468–0
SRS deployment harness with appropriate pigtail
adapter. Do not attempt procedure without
5–8840–2468–0 adapter.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN

THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE DEPLOYMENT AND
DISPOSAL PROCEDURE.
9. Twist together one connector wire lead to one
deployment wire. The connection should be
mechanically secure.
10. Bend twisted connection made in the previous step
flat and wrap tightly with electrical tape to insulate and
secure.
11. Twist together, bend and tape the remaining
connector wire lead to the remaining deployment
wire.
12. Connect the deployment harness to the driver air bag
assembly, yellow 2–pin connector at the base of the
steering column. Route deployment harness out the
driver side of the vehicle.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE
ORDER LISTED COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.
13. Disconnect passenger air bag assembly, yellow 2–pin
connector located behind glove box assembly.
14. Cut the passenger air bag assembly harness
connector from the vehicle leaving at least 15 cm (six
inches) of wire at the connector.
15. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from blue–white
and pink–blue wire lead of the connector.
16. Cut two 900 cm (30 feet) deployment wires from 0.8
mm
(18 gauge) or thicker multi–strand wire. These
wires will be used to fabricate the passenger
deployment harness.
17. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from both ends of
the wires cut in the previous step.
18. Short the wires by twisting together one end from
each. Deployment wires shall remain shorted and not
be connected to a power source until the air bag is to
be deployed.

23. Verify that the inside of the vehicle and the area
surrounding the vehicle are clear of all people and
loose or flammable objects.
24. Stretch the driver and passenger deployment
harness to their full length.
25. Completely cover windshield area and front door
window openings with a drop cloth, blanket or similar
item. This reduces the possibility of injury due to
possible fragmentation of the vehicle’s glass or
interior.
26. Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend
to deploy the air bags. The deployment will be
accompanied by a substantial noise which may
startle the uninformed.
27. Separate the two ends of the driver deployment
harness wires.
