CAUTION:
Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air bags to activate, be sure to inspect sys-
tem parts and other related parts according to instructions under “Repair and Inspection Required
after an Accident” in Section 10B.
When servicing parts other than air bag system, if shocks may be applied to air bag system compo-
nent parts, remove those parts beforehand.
When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger), seat belt pretensioners (driver
and passenger) or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an impact to it. If an excessive impact was
applied (e.g., dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 feet) or more), never attempt disassembly or repair
but replace it with a new one.
When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got onto air bag (inflator) modules (driver and pas-
senger) or seat belt pretensioners (drive and passenger), wipe off immediately with a dry cloth.
Air bag wire harness can be identified easily as it is covered with a yellow protection tube. Be very
careful when handling it.
When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire harness, connector or terminal is found,
replace wire harness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.
Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all components are connected or a diagnostic
chart requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.
Never use air bag system component parts from another vehicle.
When using electric welding, be sure to disconnect air bag (inflator) module connectors (driver and
passenger) and seat belt pretensioner connectors (driver and passenger) respectively.
Never expose air bag system component parts directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after
painting) or flames.
WARNING / CAUTION labels are attached on each part of air bag system components. Be sure to
follow the instructions.
After vehicle is completely repaired, perform “Air Bag Diagnostic System Check” in Section 10B.

SYMBOLS
WIRE COLOR SYMBOLS
There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is
single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored (striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “GRN”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color symbols (i.e. “GRN/YEL”).
The first symbol represents the base color of the wire (“GRN” in
the figure) and the second symbol represents the color of the
stripe (“YEL” in the figure). SYMBOL DEFINITION SYMBOL DEFINITION

3) Check coil spring (4), trailing arm (6) and lateral rod (5) for
deformation and damage.
4) Check trailing arm (6) and lateral rod bushings and bump
stopper (2) for wear, damage and deterioration.
5) Check other suspension parts for damage, loose or missing
parts; also for parts showing signs of wear or lack of lubrica-
tion.
Replace any parts found defective in steps 1) to 5).
Propeller Shafts
INSPECTION
1) Check universal joint and spline of propeller shaft for rattle. If
rattle is found, replace defective part with a new one.
2) Check propeller shaft (front & rear) flange yoke bolts for
tightness, and retighten them as necessary.
Refer to “Components” in Section 4B for tightening torque.
