SRS – Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures52B-41
3. There may be, adhered to the deployed air bag module,
material that could irritate the eye and/or skin, so wear
gloves and safety glasses when handling a deployed
air bag module. IF AFTER FOLLOWING THESE
PRECAUTIONS, ANY MATERIAL DOES GET INTO THE
EYES OR ON THE SKIN, IMMEDIATELY RINSE THE
AFFECTED AREA WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF CLEAN
WATER.
IF ANY IRRITATION DEVELOPS, SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
4. Tightly seal the air bag module in a strong vinyl bag
for disposal.
5. Be sure to always wash your hands after completing this
operation.

WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING!
(1) The service personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B – Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any SRS-related
component.
(2) When removing or installing the components indicated in the table of contents by an astarisk (*), use utmost care so
as not to apply any strong shock to SRS components.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS-ECU, SRS warning lamp, air bag module, clock spring and interconnecting
wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are
indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).

Outline of Change

The following service procedures have been incorporated.

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.

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Battery54-4
CHARGING
1. When charging a battery while still installed in the vehicle,
disconnect the battery cables to prevent damage to
electrical parts.
2. The current normally used for charging a battery should
be approximately 1/10th of the battery capacity.
3. When performing a quick-charging due to lack of time,
etc., the charging current should never exceed the battery
capacity as indicated in amperes.
4. Determining if charging is completed.
(1) If the specific gravity of the battery fluid reaches
1.250–1.290 and remains constant for at least one
hour.
(2) If the voltage of each cell reaches 2.5–2.8 V and
remains constant for at least one hour.
Caution
1. Be careful since the battery fluid level may rise
during charging.
2. Keep all sources of fire away while charging
because there is a danger of explosion.
3. Be careful not to do anything that could generate
sparks while charging.
4. When charging is completed, replace the battery
caps, pour clean water over the battery to remove
any sulfuric acid and dry.

BATTERY TESTING PROCEDURE
TEST STEP
(1) Turn headlamps on for 15 seconds.
(2) Turn headlamps off for 2 minutes to allow battery voltage to
stabilize.
(3) Disconnect cables.
Read open circuit voltage.
OK:Open circuit voltage is more than 12.4 VNGCharge battery at 5 amps. (see LOAD TEST RATE CHART)
RetestOK
(1) Connect a load tester to the battery.
(2) Load the battery at the recommended discharge rate (see LOAD
TEST RATE CHART).
(3) Read voltage after 15 seconds, then remove load.
(4) Compare the measured value with the minimum voltage (see
LOAD TEST CHART).
OK:Higher than minimum voltageNG
Replace battery

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 ignition key is turned to the ON position but the
sound dose not stop. (However, it stops when the
driver’s side door is closed.)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
in the OFF position.)554-10
NOTE
If every input signal can not be checked with the MUT-II, a diagnosis circuit system failure is probably
the cause.
