REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
BASIC REPAIR HINT
(a) Prevent damage and maintain vehicle cleanliness by pro-
tective covering on the fender, seat and floor.
(b) During disassembly, keep parts in the appropriate order
to facilitate reassembly.
(c) Installation and removal of battery terminal:
(1) Before performing electrical work, disconnect the
negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
(2) If it is necessary to disconnect the battery for in-
spection or repair, first disconnect the negative (±)
terminal cable.
(3) When disconnecting the terminal cable, to prevent
damage to battery terminal, loosen the cable nut
and raise the cable straight up without twisting or
prying it.
(4) Clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a
clean shop rag. Do not scrape them with a file or oth-
er abrasive objects.
(5) Install the cable ends to the battery terminals after
loosening the nut and tighten the nut. Do not use a
hammer to tap the cable ends onto the terminals.
(6) Be sure the cover for the positive (+) terminal is
properly in place.
(d) Check hose and wiring connectors to make sure that they
are connected securely and correctly.
(e) Non±reusable parts
(1) Always replace cotter pins, gaskets, O±rings, oil
seals, etc. with new ones.
(2) Non±reusable parts are indicated in the component
illustrations by the ºº symbol.
(f) Precoated parts
Precoated parts are bolts, nuts, etc. that are coated with
a seal lock adhesive at the factory.
(1) If a precoated part is retightened, loosened or
caused to move in any way, it must be recoated with
the specified adhesive.
(2) When reusing precoated parts, clean off the old
adhesive and dry with compressed air. Then apply
the specified seal lock adhesive to the bolt, nut or
threads.

(k) Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the
vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the prop-
er locations (See page IN±8).
Cancel the parking brake on the level place and
shift the transmission in N position.
When jacking up the front wheels of the vehicle, first
place stoppers behind the rear wheels.
When jacking up the rear wheels of the vehicle, first
place stoppers before the front wheels.
When either the front or rear wheels only should be
jacked up, set rigid racks and place stoppers in front
and behind of the other wheels on the ground.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it
on rigid racks. It is extremely dangerous to do any
work on a vehicle raised on a jack, even for a job that
can be finished quickly.
(l) Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to the
following parts:
(1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless
absolutely necessary. (If the IC terminals are
touched, the IC may be destroyed by static electric-
ity.)
(2) To disconnect vacuum hoses, pull off the end, not
the middle of the hose.
(3) To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the con-
nector itself, not the wires.
(4) Be careful not to drop electrical components, such
as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard
floor, they should be replaced and not reused.
(5) When steam cleaning an engine, protect the elec-
tronic components, air filter and emission±related
components from water.
(6) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install
temperature switches or temperature sensors.

does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, the pas-
senger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, cur-
tain shield airbag assembly, seat belt pretensioner,
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensor, side
airbag sensor assembly and curtain shield airbag
sensor assembly should be inspected.

(4) Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When
replacing parts, replace them with new ones.
(5) Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor because
shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during
repairs.
(6) Never disassemble or repair the steering wheel
pad, front passenger airbag assembly, airbag sen-
sor assembly and front airbag sensor.
(7) If the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag
assembly, side airbag assembly, curtain shield air-
bag assembly, seat belt pretensioner, airbag sensor
assembly and front airbag sensor have been
dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other de-
fects in the case, bracket or connector, replace
them with new ones.
(8) Do not expose the steering wheel pad, front pas-
senger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, cur-
tain shield airbag assembly, seat belt pretensioner,
airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor di-
rectly to hot air or flames.
(9) Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V
minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical cir-
cuit.
(10) Information labels are attached to the periphery of
the SRS components. Follow the instructions on the
notices.
(11) After work on the supplemental restraint system is
completed, check the SRS warning light (See page
DI±1118).

(d) STEERING WHEEL PAD (with Airbag)
(1) When removing the steering wheel pad or handling
a new steering wheel pad, it should be placed with
the pad top surface facing up.
Storing the pad with its metallic surface upward may
lead to a serious accident if the airbag inflates for
some reason. In addition do not store a steering
wheel pad on top of another one.
(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib.
(This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very
dangerous.)
(3) Grease should not be applied to the steering wheel
pad and the pad should not be cleaned with any
kind of detergents.
(4) Store the steering wheel pad where the ambient
temperature remains below 93°C (200°F), without
high humidity and away from electrical noise.
(5) When using electric welding, first disconnect the air-
bag connector (yellow color and 2 pins) under the
steering column near the combination switch con-
nector before starting work.
(6) When disposing of a vehicle or the steering wheel
pad alone, the airbag should be deployed using an
SST before disposal (See page RS±23).
Carry out the operation in a safe place away from
electrical noise.
