reset the memory. To avoid erasing the memory of
each memory system, never use a back±up power
supply from another battery.
(3) Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS
does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, front pas-
senger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly,
front airbag sensor, side airbag sensor and seat belt
pretensioner should be inspected
(See page RS±15, RS±29, RS±42, RS±60, RS±65
and BO±125).
(4) Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When
replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
(5) Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks
are likely to be applied to the sensor during repairs.
(6) Never disassemble and repair the airbag sensor as-
sembly, side airbag sensor assembly, steering
wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side
airbag assembly, front airbag sensor, side airbag
sensor or seat belt pretensioner.
(7) If the airbag sensor assembly, side airbag sensor
assembly, steering wheel pad, front passenger air-
bag assembly, side airbag assembly, front airbag
sensor, side airbag sensor or seat belt pretensioner
has been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or
other defects in the case, bracket or connector, re-
place them with new ones.
(8) Do not directly expose the airbag sensor assembly,
side airbag sensor assembly, steering wheel pad,
front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag as-
sembly, front airbag sensor, side airbag sensor or
seat belt pretensioner to hot air or flames.
(9) Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V
minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical cir-
cuit.
(10) Information labels are attached to the periphery of
the SRS components. Follow the instructions on the
notices.
(11) After work on the supplemental restraint system is
completed, check the SRS warning light (See page
DI±552).
(c) SPIRAL CABLE (in Combination Switch)
The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the steering
column with the spiral cable at the neutral position, other-
wise cable disconnection and other troubles may result.
Refer to SR±17 of this manual concerning correct steer-
ing wheel installation.

(d) STEERING WHEEL PAD (with Airbag)
(1) When removing the steering wheel pad or handling
a new steering wheel pad, it should be placed with
the pad top surface facing up.
Storing the pad with its metallic surface facing up-
ward may lead to a serious accident if the airbag de-
ploys for some reason. In addition do not store a
steering wheel pad on top of another one.
(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib.
(This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very
dangerous.)
(3) Grease should not be applied to the steering wheel
pad and the pad should not be cleaned with deter-
gents of any kind.
(4) Store the steering wheel pad where the ambient
temperature remains below 93°C (200°F), without
high humidity and away from electrical noise.
(5) When using electric welding, first disconnect the air-
bag connector (yellow color and 2 pins) under the
steering column near the combination switch con-
nector before starting work.
(6) When disposing of a vehicle or the steering wheel
pad alone, the airbag should be deployed using an
SST before disposal (See page RS±17).
Carry out the operation in a safe place away from
electrical noise.

2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Avoid spark jump test.
(1) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2) While testing, never race the engine.
(d) Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e) Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
3. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two±way radios and cellular telephones, observe
the following precautions.
(1) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle's electronic
system.
(2) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the ve-
hicle's electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensors locations, refer to the section on
the applicable component.
(3) Avoid winding the antenna feeder together with other wiring as much as possible, and also avoid
running the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
(4) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(5) Do not install powerful mobile communications system.
4. FOR USING OBD II SCAN TOOL OR LEXUS HAND±HELD TESTER
CAUTION:
Observe the following items for safety reasons:

Before using the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand±held tester, the OBD II scan tool's instruction
book or LEXUS hand±held tester's operator manual should be read thoroughly.

Be sure to route all cables securely when driving with the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand±held
tester connected to the vehicle. (i.e. Keep cables away from feet, pedals, steering wheel and
shift lever.)

Two persons are required when test driving with the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand±held tes-
ter, one person to drive the vehicle and the other person to operate the OBD II scan tool or LEX-
US hand±held tester.

5. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH VEHICLE SKID
CONTROL (VSC) SYSTEM
NOTICE:
When using a 2±wheel drum tester such as a speedometer
tester or chassis dynamometer, etc., or jacking up the rear
wheels and driving the wheels, always push in the TRAC &
VSC cut switch and turn the TRAC & VSC system OFF.
(a) Press the VSC OFF switch.
(b) Check that the VSC OFF indicator light comes ON.
HINT:
The VSC OFF indicator light should be always OFF when the
engine is restarted.
(c) Begin measurements.
(d) Press the VSC OFF switch again to change the TRAC &
VSC system to operational condition and check that the
VSC OFF indicator light goes off.
HINT:
The SLIP indicator light blinks when the TRAC system is opera-
tional.
