6. SRS WARNING LIGHT
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter. It
goes on to alert the driver of trouble in the system when a mal-
function is detected in the airbag sensor assembly self±diagno-
sis. In normal operation conditions when the ignition switch is
turned to the ACC or ON position, the light goes on for about 6
seconds and then goes off.
7. AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The airbag sensor assembly is mounted on the floor inside the
lower center finish panel. The airbag sensor assembly consists
of an airbag sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis circuit, ignition
control and drive circuit, etc. It receives signals from the airbag
sensor and judges whether the SRS must be activated or not.
8. FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
A front airbag sensor is mounted inside each of the side mem-
bers. The sensor unit is a mechanical type. When the sensor
detects deceleration force above a predetermined limit, contact
is made in the sensor, sending a signal to the airbag sensor as-
sembly. The sensor cannot be disassembled.
9. SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The side airbag sensor assembly is mounted in the LH and RH
center pillars. The side airbag sensor assembly consists of a lat-
eral deceleration sensor, safing sensor and diagnosis circuit,
etc. It receives signals to the airbag sensor assembly to judge
from the side airbag sensors whether the SRS side airbag must
be activated or not.

This mechanism electrically checks that connectors
are connected correctly and completely. The electri-

that the disconnection detection pin connects with
the diagnosis terminals when the connector hous-
ing lock is locked.

RS3000 TVIP PROGRAMMING CHANGES
FOR GBS
Models:
All Models
Technical Service
BULLETIN
April 23, 1999

Starting with 1999 MY, the programming in the RS3000 ECU for the Glass Breakage
Sensor (GBS) to trigger the alarm has been changed to improve the Toyota Vehicle
Intrusion Protection (TVIP) system's theft warning feature when glass breakage or impact
to the glass is detected.
Previous operation of GBS (for 1998 MY and prior):
Upon (first) detection of breakage of the vehicle's glass, the GBS will sound the
security system for 5 seconds (3 horn honks).
If there is a second detection of glass breakage, within 5 seconds of the first
detection, the security system will sound for the full duration of 59 seconds.
Improved operation of GBS (from 1999 MY):
Upon (first) detection of breakage of the vehicle's glass, the GBS will sound the
security system for 20 seconds.
If there is a second detection of glass breakage, the security system will sound for the
full duration of 59 seconds, regardless of time between the first and second
detections.
After the first detection, any subsequent detection will trigger the alarm for the full
duration of 59 seconds as long as the security system is armed. The GBS trigger
cycle will reset once the security system is disarmed and then rearmed.
This improvement is intended to enhance the previous trigger cycle of the security
system and ward off an intruder.
The color of the previous (1998 MY and prior) RS3000 ECU was black. The new
RS3000 ECU color is gray.
