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.

METER
COMBINATION METER
1. General

The combination meter is available as a digital display type. It is located at the upper center of the instru-
ment panel to improve its visibility.

For this combination meter, a meter ECU that effects multiplex communication through the use of BEAN
(Body Electronics Area Network) has been adopted.

The display of the speedometer can be switched between km / h and MPH readings by operating the km / h-
MPH selector switch located in the middle of the center cluster. Furthermore, the odo / trip meter can be
switched between odometer and tripmeter readings by operating the odo / trip selector / reset switch located
in the middle of the center cluster.

A ªREADYº light that informs the driver that the vehicle is ready to be driven has been adopted.

A master warning light that informs the driver if an abnormality occurs in either the EMPS (Electric Motor-
assisted Power Steering), HV batteries, or the THS (TOYOTA Hybrid System) has been adopted.

An output control warning light has been adopted to show the drop of power function due to the output
drop of HV batteries.

For the purpose of making corrections in the calculation of the fuel level by the meter ECU, two inclination
sensors that detect the vehicle's longitudinal and latitudinal inclinations have been provided in the meter
ECU. In addition, an outer ambient temperature sensor has been provided in the fuel tank to detect the
temperature in the fuel tank.

2. Construction and Operation
Speedometer

The speedometer is displayed digitally
through the VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Dis-
play). It can be switched between the km / h
and MPH readings by operating the km / h-
MPH selector switch located in the middle of
the center cluster.

The vehicle speed signal, which originates at
the speed sensor that is installed in the hybrid
transaxle, travels via the HV ECU and ECM
(BEAN) and is received by the meter ECU.
Odo / Trip Meter
Similar to the speedometer, the odo / trip meter is
displayed digitally through the VFD (Vacuum
Fluorescent Display). By operating the odo / trip
selector / reset switch located in the middle of the
center cluster, its display can be switched in the
following sequence: odometer
trip meter A

trip meter B.
While trip meter A or B is displayed, pressing the
odo / trip selector / reset switch 0.8 seconds or
longer causes the driven distance displayed by
the current trip mode to revert to 0.0 mile or 0.0
km.
The trip meter will resume measuring the dis-
tance at the moment the odo / trip selector / reset
switch is released.

2) Information Screen
The information screen provides two types of indications: the energy monitor screen indication that dis-
plays the present energy flow of the hybrid system, and the fuel consumption screen indication that dis-
plays the average fuel consumption rate, the amount of regenerative energy, and the instantaneous fuel
consumption rate.
a. Energy Monitor Screen Indication
This screen indicates the energy transmis-
sion direction for checking the current drive
method (engine, motor or both), the power
generation status by the engine and status of
regenerative energy use.
b. Fuel Consumption Screen Indication
This screen indicates the average fuel con-
sumption, recovered energy and the current
fuel consumption, all at once.
The average fuel consumption is calculated
using 5-minute units. The recovered energy
over the past 5 minutes is indicated by sym-
bols, with one mark representing 50 Wh.
In addition, the total fuel consumption be-
fore resetting and the total travel distance are
displayed at the right bottom of the screen.

(b) Actions to be taken when HV battery is depleted
NOTICE:
Leaving a vehicle alone for 2 ± 3 months may cause electric
discharge from HV battery.
When this happens, replace the HV battery.
4. INSPECTION MODE
HINT:

The PRIUS automatically stops the engine while the ve-
hicle is stopped with the engine warmed up and battery
well charged if the A/C compressor operation is not re-
quired. Therefore, even if the vehicle stops for any reason
such as a check of ignition timing, the inspection mode
should be activated when continuous operation of the en-
gine is required.

The PRIUS has a skid control as traction control function.
When the wheel speed of the front wheels exceeds that
of the rear wheels, this function restrains the wheel speed
of the front wheels. It is necessary to activate the inspec-
tion mode and reset the skid control when turning only the
front wheels using a speedometer tester.
Activation inspection mode (Without using a hand±held tester)
(1) Perform the following (2) through (6) within 60 sec.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON from OFF.
(3) With the shift lever in P position, fully depress the
accelerator pedal 2 times.
(4) With the shift lever in N position, fully depress the
accelerator pedal 2 times.
(5) With the shift lever in P position, fully depress the
accelerator pedal 2 times.
(6) Activate the inspecting mode and check that the hy-
brid system error warning light on the multi±center
display flashes.
(7) Turning the ignition switch to START starts the en-
gine's continuous operation.
NOTICE:

The idling speed in the inspection mode is approx.
1,000 rpm. The number of revolutions will increase up
to 1,500 rpm if the accelerator pedal is depressed to
a degree of less than 60%, and up to 2,250 rpm in a
case of 60% or more.

If a diagnosis code is recorded when entering the in-
spection mode, the master warning light and the error
warning light on the multi±center display is lit.

When the master warning light is lit during operation
in the inspection mode, deactivate the inspection
mode and inspect the diagnosed area.
HINT:
When continuous operation of the engine is required for such
as an exhaust leakage inspection, it is advisable as an easier
way to turn ON the FULL switch of the air conditioner.
5. SPECIAL NOTES FOR VEHICLE INSPECTION
(a) Vehicle conditions
(1) Before activating the service mode, turn the air con-
ditioner off, start the engine with the shift lever at P
position, and check that the engine stops within
several seconds after starting. (Engine warm up
check)

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.
