SRS – SRS-ECU / Air Bag Modules and Clock Spring52B-25
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ASRS-ECU INSTALLATION
Caution
The SRS may not activate if SRS-ECU is not installed
properly, which could result in serious injury or death
to the vehicle’s driver or front passenger.
BPOST-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
1. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
3. Does the “SRS” warning lamp illuminate for about 7
seconds, and then remain extinguished for at least 5
seconds after turning OFF?
4. If yes, SRS system is functioning properly.
If no, consult page 52B-6.
INSPECTION

Check the SRS-ECU and brackets for dents, cracks or
deformation.

Check connector for damage, and terminals for
deformation.
Caution
If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is discovered,
replace the SRS-ECU with a new one.
NOTE
For checking of the SRS-ECU other than described above,
refer to the section concerning troubleshooting. (Refer
to P.52B-6.)
AIR BAG MODULES AND CLOCK SPRING
Caution
1. Disconnect the battery (–) terminal and wait
for 60 seconds or more before starting work.
Furthermore, the disconnected battery
terminal should be covered with tape to
insulate it. (Refer to P.52B-3.)
2. Never attempt to disassemble or repair the
air bag modules or clock spring.
If faulty, replace it.
3. Do not drop the air bag modules or clock
spring or allow contact with water, grease
or oil.
Replace it if a dent, crack, deformation or
rust is detected.
4. The air bag modules should be stored on
a flat surface and placed so that the pad
surface is facing upward.
Do not place anything on top of it.5. Do not expose the air bag modules to
temperatures over 93C.
6. Both driver’s side and front passenger’s
side air bag modules should be replaced
with new ones once the respective air bags
were deployed. The clock springs should
also be checked and replaced with new ones
if considered abnormal.
7. Wear gloves and safety glasses when
handling air bags that have already
deployed.
8. An undeployed air bag module should only
be disposed of in accordance with the
procedures (Refer to P.52B-32.)

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
APRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
1. When installing the new air bag modules and clock spring,
refer to “INSPECTION”.
Caution
Dispose of air bag modules only according to the
specified procedure. (Refer to P.52B-32.)
2. Connect the battery (–) terminal.
3. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector.
Caution
Make certain that the ignition switch is LOCK (OFF)
when the MUT-II is connected or disconnected.

Specific gravity of the battery fluid1.220 – 1.290 [20C]
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
FLUID LEVEL AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK
1. Inspect whether or not the battery fluid is between the
UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL marks.
2. Use a hydrometer and thermometer to check the specific
gravity of the battery fluid.
Standard value: 1.220–1.290 [20C]
The specific gravity of the battery fluid varies with the
temperature, so use the following formula to calculate
the specific gravity for 20C. Use the calculated value
to determine whether or not the specific gravity is
satisfactory.

MUT-II is impossible.
Even if driver’s side door is opened, key hole

While key hole illumination lamp is illuminated,
ignition key is turned to the ON position but key hole
illumination lamp does not switch off. (However, it
switch off after 10 seconds.)354-8

The key reminder warning buzzer dose not stop
sounding even if the key is removed. (However, it
stops when the driver’s side door is closed.)454-9
The key reminder warning buzzer does not sound
ever if the driver’s side door is opened while the key
is still inserted. (However, the ignition key should be

NOTE
If every input signal can not be checked with the MUT-II, a diagnosis circuit system failure is probably
the cause.
