2001 PRIUS (EWD414U)
SRS
NOTICE: When inspecting or repairing the SRS, perform the operation in accordance with the following precautionary
instructions and the procedure and precautions in the Repair Manual for the applicable model year.
Malfunction symptoms of the SRS are difficult to confirm, so the DTCs become the most important source of information
when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the SRS, always inspect the DTCs before disconnecting the battery.
Work must be started after 90 seconds from when the ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº position and the
negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
(The SRS is equipped with a back±up power source so that if work is started within 90 seconds from
disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may be deployed.)
When the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the memory of the clock and audio system will be
canceled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents memorized in the audio memory system. When work is
finished, reset the audio systems as they were before and adjust the clock. To avoid erasing the memory in each
memory system, never use a back±up power supply from outside the vehicle.
Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during repairs.
Do not expose the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, seat belt pretensioner,
airbag sensor assembly or side airbag sensor directly to hot air or flames.
Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag
assembly, side airbag assembly, seat belt pretensioner, airbag sensor assembly and side airbag sensor assembly
should be inspected.
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
Never disassemble and repair the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, seat belt
pretensioner, airbag sensor assembly or side airbag sensor assembly in order to reuse it.
If the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, seat belt pretensioner, airbag sensor
assembly or side airbag sensor assembly has been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case,
bracket or connector, replace them with new ones.
Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V minimum) for troubleshooting the system's electrical circuits.
Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instructions on the notices.
After work on the SRS is completed, perform the SRS warning light check.
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the IN section of the Repair
Manual.

7. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG AND
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
(a) The PRIUS is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Re-
straint System), such as the driver airbag, front passen-
ger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly and seat belt
pretensioner.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct se-
quence could cause the supplemental restraint system to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to
a serious accident.
Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supplemental
restraint system, it is possible the SRS may fail to operate
when required. Before servicing (including removal or
installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure
to read the following items carefully, then follow the cor-
rect procedure described in this manual.
(b) GENERAL NOTICE
(1) Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental re-
straint system are difficult to confirm, so the diag-
nostic trouble codes become the most important
source of information when troubleshooting. When
troubleshooting the supplemental restraint system,
always inspect the diagnostic trouble codes before
disconnecting the battery (See page DI±497).
(2) Work must be started after 90 seconds from the
time the ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº posi-
tion and the negative (±) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery.
(The supplemental restraint system is equipped
with a back±up power source so that if work is
started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the neg-
ative (±) terminal cable from the battery, the SRS
may deploy.)
When the negative (±) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery, memory of the clock and
audio systems will be cancelled. So before starting
work, make a record of the contents memorized by
the each memory system. Then when work is fin-
ished, reset the clock and audio systems as before.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory sys-
tem, never use a back±up power supply from anoth-
er battery.

PRECAUTION
CAUTION:
The PRIUS is equipped with SRS, which comprises a driver airbag, front passenger airbag and
side airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the SRS
to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Further, if a
mistake is made in servicing the SRS, it is possible that the SRS may fail to operate when re-
quired. Before performing servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or
replacement), be sure to read the following items carefully, then follow the correct procedures
described in the repair manual.
Work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº position and
the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
(The SRS is equipped with a back±up power source so that if work is started within 90 seconds
from disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may be deployed.)
Do not expose the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly,
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensor or side airbag sensor assembly directly to hot air
or flames.
NOTICE:
Malfunction symptoms of the SRS are difficult to confirm, so the DTCs become the most impor-
tant source of information when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the SRS, always in-
spect the DTCs before disconnecting the battery.
Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, front
passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sor and side airbag sensor assembly should be inspected.
(See page RS±14, RS±28, RS±41, RS±53, RS±58 and RS±63)
Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during
repairs.
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
Never disassemble and repair the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side
airbag assembly, airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensor or side airbag sensor assembly
in order to reuse it.
If the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, airbag sen-
sor assembly, front airbag sensor or side airbag sensor assembly has been dropped, or if there
are cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace it with new one.
Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V minimum) for troubleshooting the system's
electrical circuits.
Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instruc-
tions on the notices.
After work on the SRS is completed, perform the SRS warning light check (See page DI±497).
When the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the memory of the clock
and audio system will be canceled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents mem-
orized in the audio memory system. When work is finished, reset the audio systems as they
were before and adjust the clock. To avoid erasing the memory in each memory system, never
use a back± up power supply from outside the vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the
IN section.
