(i) 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 loosing the set
bolts of the airbag sensor assembly.
(j) WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
The SRS wire harness is integrated with the instrument
panel wire harness assembly. The wires for the SRS wire
harness are encased in a yellow corrugated tube and all
the connectors in the system are a standard yellow color.
If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected or the
connector becomes broken due to an accident, etc., re-
pair or replace it as shown on page RS-96.

Ensure that the vehicle does not move using wires.
After the measurement, disconnect the short circuit
and check that the VSC warning light is turned off
when restarting the engine.
(b) Precaution during VSC operation:
(1) Since VSC may be affected by the removal/installa-
tion of the VSC-related parts, do not remove/install
those parts unless absolutely necessary.
(2) When operating on VSC, follow the instructions in
BR section in this manual to surely make prepara-
tions or check after operations.
3. WHEN SERVICING FULL-TIME 4WD VEHICLES
The Full-time 4WD LAND CRUISER is equipped with the me-
chanical lock type center differential system.
During tests using a brake tester or chassis dynamometer, such
as braking force tests or speedometer tests, if only the front or
rear wheels are to be rotated, it is necessary to set the position
of the center differential to FREE or LOCK depending on the
type of the test being performed.

4WD vehicle, to prevent each wheel from being rotated at
different speed in different directions (which could dam-
age the center differential), always be sure to observe the
following precautions.
(1) All of 4 wheels should be jacked up, being apart
from the ground completely.
(2) Put the center differential in LOCK position.
(3) If the vehicle is equipped with Vehicle Skid Control
(VSC) & Traction Control (TRAC) system, prohibit
the system from the activation (See step 2.).

(5) None of the brakes should be applied.
(6) The wheels should be driven on the wheel balancer
with the engine running.
(7) Carry out the wheel balancing with the transmission
position in D position.
HINT:
When doing this balancing, pay attention to the other
wheels rotating at the same time.
Sudden acceleration, deceleration or braking is not al-
lowed.
Do not forget to change the Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) &
Traction Control (TRAC) system to operational condition
after the test. Check that the VSC warning indicator light
goes off when restarting the engine.
