(i) AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
(1) Never reuse the airbag sensor assembly involved
in a collision when the SRS has deployed.
(2) The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly
should be connected or disconnected with the sen-
sor mounted on the floor. If the connectors are con-
nected or disconnected while the airbag sensor as-
sembly is not mounted to the floor, it could cause
undesired ignition of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem.
(3) 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, even if only loosening the
set bolts of the airbag sensor assembly.
(j) WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
The SRS wire harness is integrated with the cowl wire har-
ness assembly and floor wire harness assembly. All the
connectors for the system are also a standard yellow col-
or. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected or the
connector becomes broken due to an accident, etc., re-
pair or replace it.
2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH VEHICLE SKID

(5) After the measurement, remove the SST and re-
start the engine. At this time, make sure that the
VSC TRAC warning light is off.
(b) Notice in VSC operation.
(1) Removal and reinstallation of VSC±related compo-
nents may cause misadjustment of them. Do not re-
move or reinstall them unless necessary.
(2) When conducting VSC±related operations, do not
fail to make sure that the preparation and the finish-
ing of the operation are all performed in accordance
with the direction in this text.
3. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If a large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Avoid spark jump test.
(1) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2) While testing, never race the engine.
(d) Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e) Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
4. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two±way radios and cellular telephones, observe
the following precautions.
(1) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle's electronic
system.
(2) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the ve-
hicle's electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensor locations, refer to the section on
the applicable component.

3. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when there are no problem symptoms occurring. In such cases,
a thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out, then simulate the same or similar conditions and
environment in which the problem occurred in the customer's vehicle. No matter how much experience a
technician has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without confirming the problem
symptoms he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make a wrong guess
somewhere, which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only occurs when the en-
gine is cold, or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during driving, etc., the prob-
lem can never be determined so long as the symptoms are confirmed with the engine hot or the vehicle at
a standstill. Since vibration, heat or water penetration (moisture) is likely cause for problem which is difficult
to reproduce, the symptom simulation tests introduced here are effective measures in that the external
causes are applied to the vehicle in a stopped condition.
Important Points in the Symptom Simulation Test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should be confirmed, but the problem area or parts
must also be found out. To do this, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the symptoms
before starting this test and connect a tester beforehand. After that, carry out the symptom simulation test,
judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal and also confirming the problem symptoms
at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table for each system to narrow down the possible causes
of the symptom.

HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC
CHART AND INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND TERMINAL IN-
SPECTION
For troubleshooting, diagnostic trouble code charts or
problem symptom table are provided for each circuit with
detailed inspection procedures on the following pages.
When all the component parts, wire harnesses and con-
nectors of each circuit except the ECU are found to be
normal in troubleshooting, then it is determined that the
problem is in the ECU. Accordingly, if diagnosis is per-
formed without the problem symptoms occurring, refer to
step 8 to replace the ECU. So always confirm that the
problem symptoms are occurring, or proceed with inspec-
tion while using the symptom simulation method.
The instructions ºCheck wire harness and connectorº and
ºCheck and replace ECUº which appear in the inspection
procedure, are common and applicable to all diagnostic
trouble codes. Follow the procedure outlined below
whenever these instructions appear.
OPEN CIRCUIT:
This could be due to a disconnected wire harness, faulty con-
tact in the connector, and a connector terminal pulled out, etc.
HINT:
It is rarely the case that a wire is broken in the middle of
it. Most cases occur at the connector. In particular, care-
fully check the connectors of sensors and actuators.
Faulty contact could be due to rusting of the connector
terminals, to foreign materials entering terminals or a de-
formation of connector terminals. Simply disconnecting
and reconnecting the connectors once changes the
condition of the connection and may result in a return to
normal operation. Therefore, in troubleshooting, if no ab-
normality is found in the wire harness and connector
check, but the problem disappears after the check, then
the cause is considered to be in the wire harness or con-
nectors.
SHORT CIRCUIT:
This could be due to a contact between wire harness and the
body ground or to a short circuit occurred inside the switch, etc.
HINT:
When there is a short circuit between the wire harness and body
ground, check thoroughly whether the wire harness is caught
in the body or is clamped properly.

2. CONNECTOR HANDLING
When inserting tester probes into a connector, insert them from
the rear of the connector. When necessary, use mini test leads.
For water resistant connectors which cannot be accessed from
behind, take good care not to deform the connector terminals.
3. CONTINUITY CHECK (OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK)
(a) Disconnect the connectors at both ECU and sensor
sides.
(b) Measure the resistance between the applicable terminals
of the connectors.
Resistance: 1 W or less
HINT:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness
vertically and horizontally.
4. RESISTANCE CHECK (SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK)
(a) Disconnect the connectors on both ends.
(b) Measure the resistance between the applicable terminals
of the connectors and body ground. Be sure to carry out
this check on the connectors on both ends.
Resistance: 1 MW or higher
HINT:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness
vertically and horizontally.
5. VISUAL CHECK AND CONTACT PRESSURE CHECK
(a) Disconnect the connectors at both ends.
(b) Check for rust or foreign material, etc. in the terminals of
the connectors.
(c) Check crimped portions for looseness or damage and
check that the terminals are secured in lock portion.
HINT:
The terminals should not come out when pulled lightly from the
back.

(d) Prepare a test male terminal and insert it in the female ter-
minal, then pull it out.
NOTICE:
When testing a gold±plated female terminal, always use a
gold±plated male terminal.
HINT:
When the test terminal is pulled out more easily than others,
there may be poor contact in that section.
6. CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT
For an open circuit in the wire harness in Fig. 1, perform º(a)
Continuity Checkº or º(b) Voltage Checkº to locate the section.
(a) Check the continuity.
(1) Disconnect connectors ºAº and ºCº and measure
the resistance between them.
In the case of Fig. 2:
Between terminal 1 of connector ºAº and terminal 1
of connector ºCº " No continuity (open)
Between terminal 2 of connector ºAº and terminal 2
of connector ºCº " Continuity
Therefore, it is found out that there is an open circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ºAº and terminal 1
of connector ºCº.
(2) Disconnect connector ºBº and measure the resis-
tance between the connectors.
In the case of Fig. 3:
Between terminal 1 of connector ºAº and terminal 1
of connector ºB1º " Continuity
Between terminal 1 of connector ºB2º and terminal
1 of connector ºCº " No continuity (open)
Therefore, it is found out that there is an open circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ºB2º and terminal
1 of connector ºCº.
