Taillight Relay Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Taillight relay will be ºONº by operating the taillight switch. The transistor which activates the tail light relay
has two sorts: one activates by the tail light switch for fail safe and the other activates by CPU.
When the theft deterrent system is activated, it causes the transistor in the ECU to switch ON and OFF at
approximately 0.4 sec. intervals. This switches the taillight control relay ON and OFF, thus flashing the tail-
lights (See the wiring diagram below).
In this condition, if any of the following operations is done, the transistor in the ECU goes OFF and the taillight
control relay switches OFF, thus stopping the taillights flashing:
(1) Unlock the front LH or RH door with a key.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON position.
(3) Unlock the doors with the wireless door lock control system.
(4) Wait for approximately 60 seconds.

Headlight Relay Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Head light relay will be ºONº by operating the headlight switch. The transistor which activates the headlight
relay has two sorts: one activates directly by the headlight switch for fail safe and the other activates by CPU.
the one that activates by CPU has two systems and prevents the headlight from turning off at the time of
one system trouble in the automatic operation circuit.
When the theft deterrent system is activated, it causes the transistor in the ECU to switch ON and OFF at
approximately 0.25 sec. intervals. This switches the headlight control relay ON and OFF, thus flashing the
headlights (See the wiring diagram below).
In this condition, if any of the following operations is done, the transistor in the ECU goes OFF and the head-
light control relay switches OFF, thus stopping the headlights flashing:
(1) Unlock the front LH or RH door with a key.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON position.
(3) Unlock the doors with the wireless door lock control system.
(4) Wait for approximately 60 seconds.

Indicator Light Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the theft deterrent system is preparing to set, this circuit lights up the indicator light. When the system
has been set, it continuously turns the indicator light on for 0.2 secs. and turns it off for 1.8 secs., thus blinking
the indicator light.

(a) Check functioning of the SST.
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST:
SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.
SST 09082±00700
(1) Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery neg-
ative (±) terminal.
HINT:
Do not connect the yellow connector which will be connected
with the supplemental restraint system.
(2) Press the SST activation switch, and check that the
LED of the SST activation switch lights up.
CAUTION:
If the LED lights up when the activation switch is not being
pressed, SST malfunction is probable, so definitely do not
use the SST.
(3) Disconnect the SST from the battery.
(b) Install the SST.
CAUTION:
Check that there is no looseness in the steering wheel and
steering wheel pad.
(1) While turning the steering wheel right / left, remove
the 3 screws and column lower cover.
(2) Disconnect the airbag connector of the spiral cable.
(3) Connect the connectors of the 2 SST to the airbag
connector of the spiral cable.
SST 09082±00700, 09082±00760
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the connector of the SST and wire har-
ness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.

(4) Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
front of the vehicle.
(5) Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(6) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the negative (±) termi-
nal.
(c) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10
m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
(2) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
CAUTION:
The steering wheel pad is very hot when the airbag is
deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes af-
ter deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a steer-
ing wheel pad with the deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with
the deployed airbag.
When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and
scrap the vehicle with the steering wheel pad still
installed.
When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a
steering wheel pad with 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 STEERING
WHEEL PAD ONLY
NOTICE:
When disposing of the steering wheel pad (with air-
bag) only, never use the customers 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.
