REMOVAL
CAUTION:
Before servicing, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery terminal and wait at least 3
minutes.
Do not use air tools or electric tools for servicing.
Do not use old fixing nuts after removal; replace with new nuts.
Do not make an impact to the crash zone sensor by dropping etc. Replace the crash zone sensor if
it has been dropped or sustained an impact.
Replace the crash zone sensor of deployed SRS driver air bag and deployed SRS front passenger
air bag.
1. Remove the crash zone sensor.
Remove the front grille. Refer to EI-16, "Removal and Installation" .
Remove the crash zone sensor fixing nuts.
Disconnect the crash zone sensor harness connector.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the crash zone sensor harness.
After the work is completed, make sure no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning
lamp.
In case that malfunction is detected by the air bag warning lamp, reset by the self-diagnosis func-
tion and delete the memory by CONSULT
ll.
In case that malfunction is still detected after the above operation, perform self-diagnosis to repair
malfunctions. Refer to SRS-19, "
SRS Operation Check" . Fixing nut

COLLISION DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
COLLISION DIAGNOSISPFP:00015
For Frontal CollisionNHS0009L
To repair the SRS, perform the following steps.
When SRS (except the front side air bag and side curtain air bag modules) is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
2. Remove the air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules),
crash zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
3. Check the SRS components using the table below:
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
4. Install new air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules) crash
zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
5. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-19, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When SRS is not activated in a collision:
1. Check the SRS components using the table below:
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
2. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-19, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When only one front air bag module is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the following components:
–Diagnosis sensor unit
–Crash zone sensor
–Activated front air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner.
2. Check the other SRS components using the table below (Refer to “SRS is NOT activated”).
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
3. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-19, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
Only one front air bag may inflate a crash, depending on the crash severity and whether the front occupants
are belted or unbelted. This does not indicate improper performance of the system. Perform self-diagnosis to
make sure the entire SRS operates properly.

Electronically Controlled Power Steering System FunctionNGS000DV
Vehicle speed sensing electronically controlled power steering
(that properly controls the steering force by the vehicle speed)
has been adopted. When it is normal, it controls the power
steering solenoid valve according to the vehicle speed as shown
in the figure and makes the steering force proper.
For the models with RAS (Rear Active Steer), RAS control unit
performs the same control as power steering control unit. For
schematic, refer to STC-20, "
Schematic" and trouble diagnosis,
refer to STC-46, "

COMPONENTS
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove mounting bolts of RAS motor assembly, and then remove RAS motor assembly, ground terminal,
O-ring from RAS actuator.
2. Remove mounting bolt of rear wheel steering angle sensor, and then remove rear wheel steering angle
sensor, O-ring from RAS actuator.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Check RAS actuator bracket (rear wheel steering angle sensor mounting area) for crush, deformation, cracks,
or other damage. Replace the RAS actuator malfunction is detected.
ASSEMBLY
Assembly is the reverse order of disassembly. For tightening torque, refer to STC-14, "COMPONENTS" .
After assembling RAS actuator assembly (after removing and installing rear wheel angle sensor and RAS
motor), perform the neutral position adjustment.
Neutral Position AdjustmentNGS000E7
Adjust neutral position after performing the following procedure.

4. Supply 6 V voltage by connecting the four 1.5 V batteries in a
series. Connect them to the RAS motor connector (motor side),
and then operate the motor and adjust the rack in the neutral
position (A).
CAUTION:
Do not supply 12 V voltage (battery, etc) to the RAS motor.
NOTE:
For right stroke, connect positive probe to the RAS motor con-
nector terminal 1. For left stroke, connect it to the terminal 2.
5. Install rear wheel steering angle sensor with O-ring to the RAS
actuator assembly. Temporarily tighten the mounting bolts in the specified torque that the sensor can be
moved by hand.
6. Turn and adjust the rear wheel steering angle sensor so as to make each sensor signal of “DATA MONI-
TOR” mode to the following standard with CONSULT-II.
CAUTION:
During DATA MONITOR mode, “MONITORING ERROR” is displayed. But there is not malfunction
in this procedure.
7. Tighten rear wheel steering angle sensor mounting bolts.
8. Perform “ERASE” with CONSULT-II, and then erase the error memory of rear wheel steering angle sen-
sor. Refer to STC-29, "
How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results" .
9. Perform CONSULT-II “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” again, and then make sure that there is no malfunction.
Refer to STC-28, "
