INTRODUCTION REPAIR INSTRUCTION

AVENSIS REPAIR MANUAL (RM1018E)
(8) Oil or water should not be put on the front seat outer belt and the front seat outer belt should be
cleaned with the appropriate detergents.
(i) AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY (1) Never reuse the airbag sensor assembly involved in a collision where the\
SRS has deployed.
(2) The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly should be connected or disc\
onnected with thesensor mounted on the floor. If the connectors are connected or disconnected while the airbag
sensor assembly is not mounted to the floor, it could cause an undesired ignition of the supple-
mental restraint system.
(3) Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is t\
urned to the ºLOCKº position and the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, even if only loosen-
ing the set bolts of the airbag sensor assembly.
(j) WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
(1) The SRS wire harness is integrated with the instrument panel wire harness a\
ssembly. All connec-tors in the system are a standard yellow color. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected
or the connector becomes broken due to an accident, etc., repair or repl\
ace it.
3. ELECTRONIC CONTROL
(a) REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BATTERY TERMI-NAL
(1) Before performing electronic work, disconnect thebattery negative (±) terminal cable beforehand in
order to prevent it from shorting and burning out.
(2) When disconnecting and insta lling the terminal
cable, turn the ignition switch and lighting switch
OFF, and loosen the terminal nut completely. Per-
form these operations without twisting or prying the
terminal.
(3) When the battery terminal cable is removed, the memories of the clock, radio, DTCs, etc. are erased.
So before removing it, check them and make a note
of their settings.
(4) When the battery negative (±) terminal cable is dis- connected, memories of various systems are
erased. Therefore, refer to the PRE±CHECK for
each system to make sure whether or not the sys-
tem needs to be initialized after the battery negative

STEERING COLUMN STEERING SYSTEM

AVENSIS REPAIR MANUAL (RM1018E)
STEERING SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON STEERING SYSTEM
(a) Be careful to replace the parts properly because they could affect the performance of the steering sys-
tem and result in a driving hazard.
2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
(a) The vehicle is equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as \
the driver airbag and front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in the correct sequence \
could cause the SRS
to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious acc\
ident. Before servicing (in-
cluding removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure \
to read the precautionary
notices in the supplemental restraint system (See page 60±1).
3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON STEERING COLUMN
(a) Do not give an impact to the steering column assy, especially the motor and the torque sensor. If a great impact is given (dropping it to the floor, etc.), replace it with a new one.
(b) When removing the steering column assy, do not pull the harness.
(c) When having replaced the steering column assy and/or the ECU, calibrate the \
zero point of the steer- ing torque sensor.
(d) In the case of disconnecting a connector related to the power steering sys\
tem, turn the ignition switch ON, set the steering wheel in the straight±ahead position and turn th\
e ignition switch OFF before dis-
connecting the connector.
(e) In the case of connecting a connector related to the power steering system, make sure that the ignit\
ion switch is OFF at first. After connecting the connector, set the steering wheel assy in the straight±ahead
position, and then turn the ignition switch ON.
NOTICE:
Never turn on the ignition switch when the steering wheel assy is set in orde\
r than the straight±ahead
position.
(f) If the above operation is not done, the zero point of the steering torque \
sensor is shifted away from the proper position, making difference in the steering effort between right and left. If this happens, per-
form the zero point calibration of the steering torque sensor (See page 05±1042).

fects in the case, bracket or connector, replace the airbag sensor assy center with a new one.
When installing the airbag sensor assy center, take care that the SRS wiring does not interfere
with other parts and is not pinched between other parts.
(d) Tighten the 3 bolts to the specified torque. Torque: 17.5 N m (178 kgfcm, 13 ftlbf)
