Precautions and Procedures {cont'dl
SRS Unit, Front lmpact Sensors, and Side
lmpact Sensors
. Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front
impact sensors, or side impact sensors whenever the
ignition switch is ON (ll), or for at least 3 minules after
the ignition switch is turned OFF.
. During installation orreplacement, be careful notto
bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area
around the SRS unit, front impact sensors, and sjde
impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy
and cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which any airbags or seat belt
tensioners were deployed. replace the SRS unit, front
impact sensors, and other related components (see
page 23-112). After a collision in which a side airbag
was deployed. replace the side impact sensor on the
deployed side and the SRS unit. After a collision in
which the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy,
inspect for any damage or any deformation on the
SRS unit, front impact sensors, and the side impact
sensors. lf there is any damage, replace the SRS unit
and/or the sensors.
23-16
.j
. Do not disassemble the SRS unit, front impact sensors,
or side impact sensors.
. Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery
negative cable, and wait at least 3 minules before
beginning installation or replacement of the SBS unit,
or disconnecting the connectors from the SRS unit.
. Be sure the SRS unit, front impact sensors, and side
impact sensors are installed securely. with the
mounting bolts torqued to 9.8 N.m (1.0 kgf.m,7.2 lbf.ft)
. Do not spill wateroroil on the SRS unit, front impact
sensors, or the side impact sensors, and keep them
away from dust.
. Store the SRS unit, front imDact sensors and side
impact sensors in a cool (less than 104"F/40'C) and
dry (less than 80 % relative humidity, no moisture)
area.

Precautions and Procedures (cont'dl
Disconnecting System Connectors
Before removing a front airbag. side airbag, or other SRS related devices {the SRS unit, the cable reel, the front impact
sensors, the side impact sensors, the seat belt buckle tensioners, and the seat belt tensioner connector), disconnectingconnectors from related devices, or removing the dashboard or the steering column, disconnect the airbag connectorsor the side airbag connectors to prevent accidental deploVment.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before
beginning the following procedures.'BeforedisconnectingSRSunitconnectorA(1)fromtheSRSunit,disconnectthedriver'sairbag4Pconnector(3).
the front passenger's airbag 4P connector (4), the driver's seat belt tensioner 2P connector (6), and the frontpassenger's seat belt tensioner 2P connector (7).
. Before disconnecting SRS unit connector B (8) from the SRS unit, disconnect both side airbag 2P connectors (11. '12),
and both seat belt buckle tensioner 4P connectors (9, 10).. Before disconnecting the cable reel 4P connector (2), disconnect the driver's airbag 4P connector (3).'Beforedisconnectingthefloorwireharness4Pconnector(5),disconnectbothseatbelttensioner2Pconnectors

ISystem Description
SRS Components
Airbags
The SRS is a safety device which, when used with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver and frontpassenger in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system consists ofthe SRS unit, including safingsensor and impact sensor (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag (C), the front passenger,s airbag (D). seat belttensioners (l), seat belt buckle tensioners (J), and front impact sensors (K).
Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the same ttme.However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate. This can occur when the severity of a collision is at the margin, orthreshold, that determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficientprotection, and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be mininal.
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or front seat passenger
during a moderate to severe side impact. Side impact sensors (F) in each door sill and in the SRS unit detect such animpact and instantly inflate the driver's or the passenger's side airbag. Only one side airbag will deploy during a sideimpacl. lf the impact is on the passenger's side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger.
Seat Belt and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
The seat belt and seat belt buckle tensioners are linked with the SRS airbags to further increase the effectiveness ofthe seat belt. ln a front-end collision, the tensioners instantly retract the belt and buckle firmly to secure the occupantsin their seats.
OPDS
The side airbag system also includes an occupant position detection system (OpDS). This system consists of sensors(G)and an OPDS unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The OPDS unit sends occupant heighl and position data tothe SRS unit. lf the OPDS unit determines that the front passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and thefront passenger is leaning into the side airbag deployment path, the SRS unit will automatically disable the passenger'sside airbag. The SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain obiects on the seat. When theside airbag is disabled, the side airbag cutoff indicator on the instrument panel alerts the driver that the passenger'sside airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is removed, or the passenger sits upright, the side airbagcutoff indicator will go off after a few seconds, alerting the driver that the passenger's side airbag will deploy in a sideimDact.
