PRECAUTION
1. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG AND
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
(a) The AVENSIS/ CORONA is equipped with an SRS (Sup-
plemental Restraint System), such as the driver airbag,
front passenger airbag, side airbags, curtain shield airbag
and seat belt pretensioners.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct se-
quence could cause the supplemental restraint system to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to
a serious accident.
Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supplemental
restraint system, it is possible the SRS may fail to operate
when required. Before servicing (including removal or
installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure
to read the following items carefully, then follow the cor-
rect procedure described in this manual.
(b) GENERAL NOTICE
(1) Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental re-
straint system are difficult to confirm, so the diag-
nostic trouble codes become the most important
source of information when troubleshooting. When
troubleshooting the supplemental restraint system,
always inspect the diagnostic trouble codes before
disconnecting the battery (See Pub. No. RM599E,
page DI–152).
(2) Work must be started after 90 seconds from the
time the ignition switch is turned to the ”LOCK” posi-
tion and the negative (–) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery.
(The supplemental restraint system is equipped
with a back–up power source so that if work is
started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the neg-
ative (–) terminal cable from the battery, the SRS
may deploy.)
When the negative (–) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery, memory of the clock and
audio systems will be cancelled. So before starting
work, make a record of the contents memorized by
the each memory system. Then when work is fin-
ished, reset the clock and audio systems as before.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory sys-
tem, never use a back–up power supply from out-
side the vehicle.

PRECAUTION
NOTICE:
The AVENSIS / CORONA is equipped with SRS, which comprises a driver airbag, front passen-
ger airbag, side airbag and curtain shield airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in the
correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly lead-
ing to a serious accident. Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the SRS, it is possible that
the SRS may fail to operate when required. Before performing servicing (including removal or
installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the following items carefully,
then follow the correct procedures described in the repair manual.
Malfunction symptoms of the SRS are difficult to confirm, so the DTCs become the most impor-
tant source of information when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the SRS, always in-
spect the DTCs before disconnecting the battery.
Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the side airbag assembly,
curtain shileld airbag assembly and side and curtain shield airbag sensor assembly should be
inspected (See page RS–11, RS–25 and RS–36).
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
Never disassemble and repair the side airbag assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly or side
and curtain shield airbag sensor assembly in order to reuse it.
If the side airbag assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly or side and curtain shield airbag
sensor assembly has been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case,
bracket or connector, replace it with new one.
Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kΩ/V minimum) for troubleshooting the system’s
electrical circuits.
Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instruc-
tions on the notices.
After working on the SRS is completed, perform the SRS warning light check (See Pub No.
RM599E on page DI–152).
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the
IN section.
CAUTION:
Work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ”LOCK” position and
the negative (–) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
(The SRS is equipped with a back–up power source so that if work is started within 90 seconds
from disconnecting the negative (–) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may be deployed.)
When the negative (–) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the memory of the clock
and audio system will be canceled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents mem-
orized in the audio memory system. When work is finished, reset the audio systems as they
were before and adjust the clock. To avoid erasing the memory in each memory system, never
use a back– up power supply from outside the vehicle.
Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during
repairs.
Do not expose the side airbag assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly or side and curtain
shield airbag sensor assembly directly to hot air or flames.
