INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL INJECTORS AND DELIVERY PIPES
(a) Install new insulator and grommet to each injector.
(b) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline to 2 new O-
rings and install them to each injector.
(c) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline on the place
where a delivery pipe touches an O-ring of the injector.
(d) While turning the injector clockwise and counterclock-
wise, push it to the delivery pipes. Install the 6 injectors.
(e) Position the injector connector outward.
(f) Place the 4 spacers in position on the intake manifold.
(g) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline on the place
where a intake manifold touches an O-ring of the injector.
(h) Place the delivery pipes and fuel pipe together with the 6
injectors in position on the intake manifold.
(i) Temporarily install the 4 bolts holding the delivery pipes
to the intake manifold.
(j) Temporarily install the bolt holding the No.1 fuel pipe to
the intake manifold.
(k) Check that the injectors rotate smoothly.
HINT:
If injectors do not rotate smoothly, the probable cause is incor-
rect installation of O-rings. Replace the O-rings.
(l) Position the injector connector outward.

(b) When installing the battery, be especially careful not to in-
correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (-) cables.
(c) Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during re-
moval or installation. Handle all SFI parts carefully, espe-
cially the ECM.
(d) Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and even slight terminal con-
tact can cause further troubles.
(e) Do not open the ECM cover.
(f) When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent entry of water. Also, when washing the engine
compartment, prevent water from getting on the SFI parts
and wiring connectors.
(g) Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
(h) Care is required when pulling out and inserting wiring con-
nectors.
(1) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling
on the connectors.
(2) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
(i) Use SST for inspection or test of the injector or its wiring
connector.

8. FUEL SYSTEM
(a) When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large
amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe the following
procedures:
(1) Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
(2) Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on
its own, turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(3) Put a container under the connection.
(4) Slowly loosen the connection.
(5) Disconnect the connection.
(6) Plug the connection with a rubber plug.

(d) Observe the following precautions when removing and
installing the injectors.
(1) Never reuse the O-ring.
(2) When placing a new O-ring on the injector, take
care not to damage it in any way.
(3) Coat a new O-ring with spindle oil or gasoline be-
fore installing-never use engine, gear or brake oil.
(e) Install the injector to the delivery pipe and intake manifold
as shown in the illustration.
(f) Observe these precautions when disconnecting the fuel
tube connector (quick type).

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH AND RH
(a) Install the front airbag sensors with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 20 N´m (205 kgf´cm, 15 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
Connection of the connector is done after the sensor
assembly has been installed.
Make sure the sensor is installed with the specified
torque.
If the sensor has been dropped, or there are cracks,
dents or other defects in the case, brackets or con-
nector, replace the removed sensor with a new one.
The front sensor is equipped with an electrical con-
nection check mechanism. Be sure to lock this mech-
anism securely when connecting the connector. If the
connector is not securely locked, a malfunction code
will be detected by the diagnostic system.
HINT:
Install the front airbag sensor with the arrow on the sensor fac-
ing toward the front of the vehicle.
(b) Connect the front airbag sensor connector.
2. INSTALL HEAD LIGHT
Install head lights with the 4 bolts and 2 screws (See page
BE-23).

- SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMFRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
1554 Author: Date:
2001 AVALON (RM808U)
CAUTION:
The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot
when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at
least 30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling the
front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed
airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to the front passenger airbag
assembly with the deployed airbag.
When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and
scrap the vehicle with the front passenger airbag as-
sembly still installed.
When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has the
front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed
airbag, use gloves and safety glasses.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ONLY
NOTICE:
When disposing of the front passenger airbag assem-
bly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy
the airbag.
Be sure to follow the procedure given below when de-
ploying the airbag.
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly (See page
RS-28).
CAUTION:
When removing the front passenger airbag assembly,
work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ºLOCKº position and the nega-
tive (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the bat-
tery.
When storing the front passenger airbag assembly,
keep the upper surface of the airbag deployment side
facing upward.

(c) Check functioning of the SST (See step 1-(a) on page
RS-17).
SST 09082-00700
(d) Place the tires.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front
passenger airbag assembly is tied.
(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the front
passenger airbag assembly is tied. The top tire
should have the wheel installed.
(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harness.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very danger-
ous if loose wire harnesses result in the tires coming free
due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
HINT:
Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Provide
at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
(e) Install the SST.
Connect the connectors of the 2 SST to the front passen-
ger airbag assembly connector.
SST 09082-00700, 09082-00760
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, se-
cure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tires.
(f) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(-) terminal.
(2) Check that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around
the tire which the front passenger airbag assembly
is tied to.
(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.
