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.

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.

Service Precautions for SRS
Component Service
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 number
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.
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON O
R
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 “OFF” and turn the steering
wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight
ahead.
1. Remove SRS fuse “SRS” from left dash side lowe
r
fuse block or 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 section.
4. Disconnect passenger air bag assembly yello
w
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
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Connect yellow connector passenger air bag
assembly.
2. Install glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenge
r
Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in this section.
3. Connect yellow connector at the base of the
steering column.
4. Install “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to left dash side
lower fuse block or 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
section.

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 SRS control unit
pointing toward the front of the vehicle. It is ver
y
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 replacements.

Inspections Required After An Accident
CAUTION: Certain SRS components must be
replaced after a frontal crash involving air bag
deployment.
In all types of accidents regardless of “Air Bag”
deployment, visually inspect all of the following
components and replace as required:

9A-28 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

– Driver air bag assembly
– Passenger air bag assembly
– Steering wheel
– SRS coil assembly
– Steering column
– Knee bolster and instrument panel mounting
attachments
– Driver seat and belt
– Passenger seat and belt
– SRS control unit
SRS control unit always should be checked according
to “SRS Control Unit Replacement Guidelines.”
CAUTION: Refer to “SRS control unit Replacement
Guidelines” below for important information on
SRS control unit replacement in both deployment
and non–deployment crashes.
Inspect SRS coil assembly wiring and steering wheel
for any sign of scorching, melting, or damage due to
excessive heat. If coil assembly wire or steering wheel
is damaged, replace them. The steering column and
wheel must be dimensionally checked to determine if
they are damaged. Refer to steering wheel of in this
manual.
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. This does
not include remanufactured parts purchased from an
authorized Isuzu Retailer; they may be used for SRS
repairs.
Do not attempt to repair the SRS control unit, the SRS
harness, the SRS coil assembly, the air bag assembly,
the steering wheel, or the steering column. Service of
these items is replacement only. Verify replacement
part numbers.
CAUTION: Proper operation of the SRS control
unit and supplemental restraint system (SRS)
requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure
return it to its original production configuration.

SRS Connectors
CAUTION: The special yellow color connectors are
used for supplemental restraint system-air bag
circuit. When removing the cable harness, do not
pull the cables otherwise, cable disconnection
may occur. When connect the SRS connector,
insert the connector completely. Imperfect locking
may cause malfunction of SRS circuit.


Removal
To remove the connector, hold the cover insulator (1)
and pull it. The cover insulator slides and lock will be
released. Do not hold the socket insulator (2).
