0A-4 GENERAL INFORMATION
HANDLING AND SERVICING
WARNING:

Many of service procedures require disconnection of
“AIR BAG” fuse and air bag (inflator) modules (driver and
passenger) from deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment.
Driver and Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Modules

For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator) module,
select a place where the ambient temperature below 65C
(150F), without high humidity and away from electric
noise.

When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make sure
the bag opening is pointed away from you. In case of an
accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with mini-
mal chance of injury. Never carry the air bag (inflator)
module by the wires or connector on the underside of the
module. When placing a live air bag (inflator) module on
a bench or other surface, always face the bag up, away
from the surface. As the live passenger air bag (inflator)
module must be placed with its bag (trim cover) facing up,
place it on the workbench with a slit or use the workbench
vise to hold it securely at its lower mounting bracket. This
is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow the
air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental de-
ployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.

Never dispose of live (undeployed) air bag (inflator) mod-
ules (driver and passenger). If disposal is necessary, be
sure to deploy them according to deployment procedures
described in Section 9J before disposal.

The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deploy-
ment is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it off
before proceeding the work.

After an air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the
surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue.
This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lu-
bricate the bag as it inflates) and by-products of the chem-
ical reaction. As with many service procedures, gloves
and safety glasses should be worn.
SDM

During service procedures, be very careful when handling
a Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). Never strike or
jar the SDM. Never power up the air bag system when the
SDM is not rigidly attached to the vehicle. All SDM and
mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully torqued
and the arrow must be pointing toward the front of the ve-
hicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system. The
SDM could be activated when powered while not rigidly at-
tached to the vehicle which could cause deployment and
result in personal injury.

0A-10 GENERAL INFORMATION

When disconnecting connectors, never pull the wiring har-
ness. Unlock the connector lock first and then pull them
apart by holding connectors themselves.

When connecting connectors, also hold connectors and put
them together until they lock securely (a click is heard).

When installing the wiring harness, fix it with clamps so that
no slack is left.

When installing vehicle parts, be careful so that the wiring
harness is not interfered with or caught by any other part.

When using floor jack:
GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-21
In raising front or rear vehicle end off the floor by jacking, be sure
to put the jack against the center portion of front cross member (1)
or rear cross member (2).
WARNING:

Never apply jack against suspension parts (i.e., stabilizer,
etc.) or vehicle floor, or it may get deformed.

If the vehicle to be jacked up only at the front or rear end,
be sure to block the wheels on ground in order to ensure
safety.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on
stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on the
vehicle raised on jack alone.
To perform service with either front or rear vehicle end jacked up,
be sure to place safety stands under body so that body is securely
supported. And then check to ensure that body does not slide on
safety stands and the vehicle is held stable for safety’s sake.

1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
2) Loosen radiator drain plug (1) to drain coolant.
3) Remove reservoir and drain.
4) Tighten drain plug securely. Also install reservoir.
5) Slowly pour specified amount of coolant to the base of radiator
filler neck, and run engine, with radiator cap removed, until ra-
diator upper hose is hot. This drives out any air which may still
be trapped within cooling system. Add coolant as necessary un-
til coolant level reaches filler throat of radiator. Reinstall radiator
cap.
6) Add coolant to reservoir (1) so that its level aligns with Full mark
(2). Then, reinstall cap to reservoir aligning match marks (3) on
reservoir and cap.
