SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9J±6
There is a shorting clip on the passenger air bag
assembly connector which connects to the SRS harness.
The shorting clip shorts across the passenger air bag
assembly circuit when the passenger air bag assembly
connector is disconnected. The circuit to the passenger
air bag assembly is shorted in this way to help prevent
unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing the
passenger air bag assembly, the instrument panel or
other SRS components.

Steering Column
The steering column absorbs energy and is designed to
compress in a frontal crash to decrease the chance of
injury to the driver.

Knee Bolster
The knee bolsters are used to absorb energy to protec
knees and control the forward movement of the vehicle's
front seat occupants during a frontal crash, by limiting leg
movement.

Definition
Air Bag
An inflatable cloth cushion designed to deploy in certain
frontal crashes. It supplements the protection offered by
the seat belts by distributing the impact load more evenly
over the vehicle occupant's head and torso.
Asynchronous
Performed in a nonperiodic fashion, (i. e., no defined time
or interval).
(B+)
Battery voltage, (B+) The voltage available at the battery
at the time of the indicated measurement. With the key
ªONº and the engine not running, the system voltage will
likely be between 12 and 12.5 volts. At idle the voltage
may be 14 to 16 volts. The voltage could be as low as 10
volts during engine cranking.
Bulb Check
The SDM will cause the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp to flash
seven times and then go ªOFFº whenever the ignition
switch transitions to the ON position from any other
ignition switch position and no malfunctions are detected.
ªCONTINUOUS MONITORINGº
Tests performed by the SDM on the SRS every 100
milliseconds while ªIgnition 1º voltage is in the normal
operating voltage range at the SDM.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
Formerly ªDLCº a connector which allows communication
with an external computer, such as a scan tool.
Datum Line
A base line parallel to the plane of the underbody or frame
from which all vertical measurements originate.

Installation
1. Install the steering column assembly (13) and align
the setting marks on the universal joint and steering
shaft made during removal.
2. Tighten the steering column fixing bolts (dash panel
side) to the specified torque.
Torque: 20 N´m (14 lb ft)
3. Tighten the steering column fixing nuts (Cross beam)
to the specified torque.
Torque: 20 N´m (14 lb ft)
4. Tighten the universal joint to the specified torque.
Torque: 31 N´m (23 lb ft)
5. Install steering lock cylinder assembly (11).
6. Connect shift lock cable (For A/T)
7. Install cushion rubber.
8. Install snap ring.
9. Install the combination switch assembly with SRS coil
(9).
10. Connect the wiring harness connector (10) located on
the base of steering column.
11. Turn the SRS coil clockwise to full, return about 3
turns and align the neutral mark.
CAUTION: When turning the SRS coil clockwise to
full, stop turning if resistance is felt. Further forced
turning may damage the cable in the SRS coil.
12. Install steering column cover (1).
CAUTION: When installing the steering column
cover, be sure to wire (through each harness) as
illustrated so that the harnesses starter switch,
combination switch and SRS coil may not catch
wiring.
13. Install the steering wheel (2) and align the setting
marks (6).
14. Tighten the steering wheel fixing nut (3) to the
specified torque.
Torque: 34 N´m (25 lb ft)
15. Connect horn lead (8).
16. Connect air Bag wiring harness connector (7).
NOTE: Pass the lead wire through the tabs on the plastic
cover (wire protector) of air bag to prevent lead wire from
being pinched.17. Install air bag into steering wheel and tighten bolts (5)
to specified sequence as shown in figure.
Torque: 8.8 N´m (78 lb in)
CAUTION: Never use the air bag assembly from
another vehicle and difference model year air bag
assembly.
The air bag assembly has identification colors on the
bar code label as follows.
Light blue color for driver air bag assembly.
Light blue color for passenger air bag assembly.
Use only the air bag assembly for ªUPº.

Service Precaution
WARNING: S A F E T Y P R ECAUTIONS MUST BE
FOLLOWED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY SURFACE MAY CONTAIN A SMALL
AMOUNT OF SODIUM HYDROXIDE, A BY±PRODUCT
OF THE DEPLOYMENT REACTION, THAT IS
IRRITATING TO THE SKIN AND EYES. MOST OF THE
POWDER ON THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY IS
HARMLESS. AS A PRECAUTION, WEAR GLOVES
AND SAFETY GLASSES WHEN HANDLING A
DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, AND WASH YOUR
HANDS WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER
AFTERWARDS.
WARNING: W H E N C A R RY I N G A L I V E A I R B A G
ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG AND TRIM
COVER ARE POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. NEVER
CARRY AIR BAG ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR
CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF MODULE. IN
THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE
BAG WILL THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE
OF INJURY. WHEN PLACING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY ON A BENCH OR OTHER SURFACE,
ALWAYS FACE BAG AND TRIM COVER UP, AWAY
FROM THE SURFACE. NEVER REST A STEERING
COLUMN ASSEMBLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL
WITH THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY FACE DOWN AND
COLUMN VERTICAL. THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT
A FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY
EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT.
OTHERWISE, PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.
NOTE: In the event deployment has occurred, inspect
coil assembly wire for any signs of scorching, melting or
any other damage due to excessive heat. If the coil has
been damaged, replace it.
Removal
1. Disable the SRS. (Refer to ªDisabling the SRSº in this
section.)
2. Remove glove box assembly.
3. Disconnect passenger air bag assembly harness
