Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFE
R
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, o
r
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners
or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such
coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and
the joint clamping force, and may damage the
fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications.
Following these instructions can help you avoid
damage to parts and systems.
General Description
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. If a fastener needs to be
replaced, use the correct part number fastener fo
r
that application. If the correct part numbe
r
fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size
and strength (or stronger) may be used.
Fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring
thread locking compound will be called out. The
correct torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. If the above conditions
are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.


Restraint Devices
827RW006
Legent
(1) Deployed Air Bag
(2) Knee Bolster
(3) Seat Belt


The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) helps
supplement the protection offered by the driver and
front passenger seat belts by deploying an air bag
from the center of the steering wheel and from the
front of the passenger side of the instrument panel.
The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a
frontal crash of sufficient force up to 30 degrees off the
centerline of the vehicle. To further absorb the crash
energy there is a knee bolster located beneath the
instrument panel for both the driver and passenger,
and the steering column is collapsible.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9A-9

060R300007

SRS Coil Assembly
The SRS coil assembly consists of two current
carrying coils. This is attached to the steering column
and allow rotation of the steering wheel while
maintaining continuous contact of the driver
deployment loop to the driver air bag assembly.
There is a shorting clip on the yellow connector near
the base of steering column which connects the SRS
coil to the SRS wiring harness.
The shorting clip shorts to the SRS coil and driver air
bag assembly when the yellow connector is
disconnected. The circuit to the driver air bag
assembly is shorted in this way to help prevent
unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing
the steering column or other SRS components.
060R300047


Air Bag Assemblies
The air bag assembly consist of an inflatable air bag
assembly and an inflator. When the vehicle is in a
frontal crash of sufficient force.
The SRS control unit causes current flow through the
deployment loops. Current passing through the inflator
ignites the material in the air bag assembly. The gas
produced from this reaction rapidly inflates the air bag
assembly.
There is a shorting clip on the driver air bag assembly
connector which connects the SRS coil assembly. The
shorting clip shorts across the driver air bag assembly
circuits when driver air bag assembly connector is
disconnected.
The circuit to the driver air bag assembly is shorted in
this way to help prevent unwanted deployment of the
air bag when servicing the driver air bag assembly, the
steering column or other SRS components.

060R300012

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.

060R300013

Seat Belt with Pretensioner (If so
equipped)
The seat belt comprises a seat belt and a cylinder (a
cylinder filled with powder and an ignition device). In
cases of frontal collision which cause a shock
exceeding a specified level, the controller lets current
flow to the inflation circuit. The current ignites the
cylinder of the seat belt, producing gas. The gas helps
tighten the seat belt to restrain firmly the driver’s upper
half in his seat.




RTW49JSH000201







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.
060R300038

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

Definitions

Repairs And Inspections Required
After An Accident
If any SRS components are damaged, they must be
replaced. If SRS component mounting points are
damaged, they must be replaced.
 Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. This
does not include remanufactured parts purchased
from an authorized dealer; they may be used fo
r
SRS repairs.
 Do not attempt to service the SRS control unit, the
SRS coil assembly, or the air bag assembly.
Service of these items is by replacement only.

Verify the part number of replacement air bag
assembly.

CAUTION: Never use the air bag assembly from
another vehicle and difference model year air bag
assembly.
Use only new air bag assembly proper to the
TFR/S which is being repaired.
CAUTION: Proper operation of the sensors and
supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires that
any repairs to the vehicle structure return it to the
original production configuration. Deployment
requires, at a minimum, replacement of the SRS
control unit, air bag assembly and dimensional
inspection of the steering column. Any visible
damage to the SRS control unit mounting bracket
(s) requires replacement, and the steering column
must be dimensionally inspected, whethe
r
deployment occurred or not.
Accident With Deployment – Component
Replacement And Inspections
Certain SRS components must be replaced or
inspected for damage after a frontal crash involving air
bag deployment. Those components are:
 Air bag assembly
 SRS control unit

CAUTION: Refer to “SRS control unit
Replacement Guidelines” below for important
information on SRS control unit replacement in
both deployment and non deployment crashes.
 SRS coil assembly — Inspect wiring and connecto
r
for any signs of scorching, melting, or damage due
to excessive heat. Replace if damaged. Refer to
section “SRS Coil Assembly” in this manual.
Accident With or Without Deployment –
Component Inspection
Certain SRS system components and rotation parts
must be inspected after any crash, whether the air bag
deployed or not. Those components are:
 Steering column —Refer to Inspection Required
“After an Accident” in this manual.
 Knee bolsters and mounting points —Inspect fo
r
any distortion, bending, cracking, or other damage.
 I/P steering column reinforcement plate —Inspect
for any distortion, bending, cracking, or othe
r

component (with pigtail) must be replaced. Examples
of “pigtail” components are the driver air bag
assembly, the passenger air bag assembly, and the
SRS coil assembly.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9A-15

On–Vehicle Service
Service Precaution
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
REPAIRS.
The SRS control unit in Driver–Passenger SRS can
maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for
up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse
powering the SRS control unit is removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time
period to expire.

Disabling The SRS
Removal
Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Remove SRS fuse “SRS”, from the side of the
driver side of instrument panel fuse block o
r
disconnect battery.
2. Disconnect yellow connector at the base o
f
steering column.
3. Remove glove box assembly, refer to “Passenge
r
Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in this manual.
4. Disconnect yellow connector behind the glove box
assembly.
CAUTION: With the “SRS” fuse removed and
ignition switch “ON”, the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
will be “ON”. This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction.

Enabling The SRS
Installation
CAUTION: Never use the air bag assembly from
another vehicle and difference model year air bag
assembly.
Use only new air bag assembly proper to the
TFR/S which is being repaired.
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Connect yellow connector passenger air bag
assembly.
2. Install glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenger ai
r
bag assembly replacement” in this manual.
3. Connect yellow connector at the base of steering
column.
4. Install “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to the side of the
driver side of instrument panel fuse block o
r
connect battery.
Turn ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp flashes seven times and then
turns “OFF.” If it does not operate as described,
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this
manual.

Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 65

C (150
F).
2.
Air bag assembly, and SRS control unit should not
be used if they have been dropped from a height
of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more.
3. When a SRS control unit is replaced, it must be
oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing
toward the front of the vehicle. It is very important
for the SRS control unit to be located flat on the
mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum
line. It is important that the SRS control unit
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign
material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all
components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble
code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures ma
y
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.
