OPERATION
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform the initialization of the occupant classi-
fication ECU if any of the following conditions occur (see
page DI±1128). If the initialization is not performed, the SRS
may not operate properly.
The occupant classification ECU is replaced.
Accessories (seatback tray, seat cover, etc.) are
installed to the vehicle.
The passenger seat is removed from the vehicle, and
then reinstalled or replaced.
The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator light (ºOFFº)
comes on when the passenger seat is not occupied.
The vehicle is brought to the workshop for repair due
to an accident or collision.
1. STEERING WHEEL PAD
The inflator and bag of the SRS are stored in the steering wheel
pad and cannot be disassembled. The inflator contains a squib,
igniter charge, and gas generator, etc., and inflates the bag
when instructed by the airbag sensor assembly. The steering
wheel pad cannot be disassembled.
2. SPIRAL CABLE
A spiral cable is used as an electrical joint from the vehicle body
side to the steering wheel. The spiral cable cannot be disas-
sembled.
3. FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
The inflator and bag of the SRS are stored in the front passen-
ger airbag assembly and cannot be disassembled. The inflator
contains  a squib, igniter charge, gas generator, etc., and in-
flates the bag when instructed by the airbag sensor assembly.
The front passenger airbag assembly cannot be disassembled.
