Precautions/Procedu res
SRS Unit Precautions
Take extra care when painting or doing body work inthe area below the dashboard. Avoid direct exDosureof the SRS unit or wiring to heat guns, welding. orsprayang equipment.
Disconnect the airbag connector(s) before discon-necting SRS harness connectors (see page24-1|1J.
After any degree of frontal body damage, or after acollision without airbag deployment, inspect the SRSunit for physical damage. lf it is dented. cracked, ordeformed, replace it.
Be sure the SRS unit is installed securely.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit.
Store the SRS unit in a cool (less than about 104.F/40"C) and dry (less than 80% humidity, no moisture)place. Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit, andkeep it away from dust.
During installation or replacement, be careful not tobump (impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area aroundthe SRS unit. The airbag(s) could accidentally deptoyand cause damage or injury.
24-8
Inspection After Deployment
After a collision ln which the airbag(s) was (were)
deployed, replace the SRS unit, and inspect the following:
1. Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace. don,trepair, any damaged harnesses.
2. Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. lf there is anydamage, replace the cable reel.
3. After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn theignition switch on. lf the SRS indicator light comeson for about six seconds and then goes off. the SRSsystem is OK. lf the indicator light does not functionproperly, go to SRS Troubleshooting.

)
Wiring Precautions
. Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring'
NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow
outer Protective covering.
8e sure to install the harness wires so that they are not
oinched or interfering with other parts.
t
Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and
grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-
metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent
problems that are difficult to diagnose.

. When checking voltage or resistance on this type of
connector the flrst time, it is necessary to remove lne
retainer to insert tester probes from the wire side.
NOTE: lt is not necessary to reinstall the removed
retainer; the terminals wi I stay locked in the connec-
tor housrng.
To remove the retainer, insert a flat tip screwdriver
between connector body and retainer, and carefully
pry out the retainer.
NOTE: Take care not to break the connector.

4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring
between the fuse box and the short.
5. Beginning at the fuse box, slowly move
the short finder along the circuit wiring.
The meter will show current Dulses
through sheet metal and body trim. As
long as the meter is between the fuse and
lhe short, the needle will move with each
current pulse. Once you move the meter
past the point of the short, the needle will
stop moving. Check the wiring and
connectors in this area to locate the cause
of the short.

How the Circuit Works
The two outside mirrors are controlled by the power
mirror switch. Each mirror has two reversible
motors: one motor moves lhe mirror uo and down
and the other motor moves the mirror left and right.
The power mirror switch contains four switches to
control mirror adjustment, and a switch lo select
the left or right mirror. With the ignition ON (ll),
battery voltage is supplied to the power mirror
switch. The mirror selector switch directs voltage
Irom the direction switches to either the left or rioht
mtrror.
Mirror Up
When you press the "up" edge of the mirror
adjustment button, voltage is supplied from one of
the UP switch contacts to both mirrors. With the
mirror select switch in the LEFT or RIGHT Dosition.
ground is provjded for the corresponding up/down
motor through the opposite UP switch contact.
Battery voltage is supplied to the mirror up/down
motor which then tilts the selected mirror uo.
Mirror Down
When you press the "down" edge of the mirror
adjustment button, ground is provided through one
of the DOWN switch contacts to both mirrors.
With the mirror select switch in the LEFT or RIGHT
position, voltage is supplied to the corresponding
up/down motor through the opposite DOWN switch
contact. Battery voltage is supplied to the mirror
up/down motor which then tilts the selected
mtrror down.
Mirror Left
When the mirror select switch is in the LEFT or
RIGHT position, and you press the "lett" edge of the
mirror adjustment button, voltage is supplied to both
corresponding mirror motors through one of the
LEFT switch contacts. Ground is provided for the
corresponding lefvright motor through the opposite
LEFT switch contact, 8attery voltage is supplied to
the mirror left /right motor which then tilts the
selected mirror left.
I,J
141-3
Mirror Right
When the mirror select switch is in the LEFT or
RIGHT position, and you press the '?ight" edge of
the mirror adjustment button, ground is provided to
both corresponding mirror motors through one of
the RIGHT switch contacts. Voltage is supplied to
the corresponding leruright motor through the
opposite RIGHT switch contact. Battery voltage is
supplied to the mirror left /right motor which then
tilts the selected mirror right.
Mirror Detoggers
With the ignition switch in ON (ll), battery voltage is
supplied to the mirror defogger switch. When you
press the mirror defogger switch ON, voltage is
supplied to both mirror defoggers, causing them to
heat up and remove any fog from the mirrors. The
opposite side of each defogger grid is connected to
g rou no.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23,
Body Electrical) for specific tests and
troubleshooting procedures.
