Disposal of Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-
tensioner
+Before disposing of air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, or vehicles equipped with such systems,
deploy the systems. If such systems have already been deployed due to an accident, dispose of as indi-
cated in ``DISPOSING OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER'' (RS-21).
+When deploying the air bag module, always use the Special Service Tool; Deployment tool KV99106400,
KV99108200 and KV99108300.
+When deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the
deployment component.
+When deploying air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, a fairly loud noise is made, followed by smoke
being released. The smoke is not poisonous, however, be careful not to inhale smoke since it irritates throat
and can cause choking.
+Always activate one air bag module at a time.
+Due to heat, leave air bag module unattended for more than 30 minutes after deployment. Also leave seat
belt pre-tensioner unattended for more than 10 minutes after deployment.
+Be sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag module.
+Never apply water to a deployed air bag module.
+Wash your hands clean after ®nishing work.
+Do not dispose of the air bag module un-deployed.
+Place the vehicle outdoors with an open space of at least 6 m (20 ft) on all sides when deploying the air
bag module while mounted in vehicle.
+Use a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged.
CHECKING DEPLOYMENT TOOL
Connecting to battery
CAUTION:
The battery must show voltage of 9.6V or more.
Remove the battery from the vehicle and place it on dry wood
blocks approximately 5 m (16 ft) away from the vehicle.
+Wait 3 minutes after the vehicle battery is disconnected before
proceeding.
+Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal
and black clip to negative terminal.
Make sure the polarity is correct. The right side lamp in the
tool, marked ``deployment tool power'', should glow with a
green light. If the right side lamp glows red, reverse the con-
nections to the battery.

Checking seat belt pre-tensioner system operation
Check seat belt pre-tensioner system operation using a bulb as
follows:
1. Connect a bulb of less than 3.4W between data link connector
terminals
V7andV11.
2. After turning ignition switch from ``OFF'' to ``ON'', the bulb oper-
ates.
3. Compare the bulb operation to the chart below.

tions.
2. Replace the harness if it
has visible damage.
3. Replace driver's and
front passenger seat
belt assemblies.
(Before disposing, they
must be deactivated.)
4. Replace diagnosis sen-
sor unit.

* Follow the procedures in numerical order when repairing malfunctioning parts. Con®rm whether malfunction is eliminated
using a bulb or CONSULT each time repair is ®nished. If malfunction is still observed, proceed to the next step. When mal-
function is eliminated, further repair work is not required.

Bleeding Hydraulic System
1. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground.
2. Add ¯uid into oil tank to speci®ed level. Then, quickly turn steer-
ing wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering stop-
pers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until ¯uid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2 above.
+Incomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When
this happens, bleed air again.
a. Air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Clicking noise in oil pump
c. Excessive buzzing in oil pump
Fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This is common
when the vehicle is stationary or while turning steering wheel
slowly. This does not affect performance or durability of the system.
Checking Steering Wheel Turning Force
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering ¯uid up to adequate operating tempera-
ture. [Make sure temperature of ¯uid is approximately 60 to
80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).]
Tires need to be in¯ated to normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360É from the neutral position.
Steering wheel turning force:
39 N (4 kg, 9 lb) or less
Checking Hydraulic System
Before starting, check belt tension, driving pulley and tire pressure.
1. Set Tool. Open shut-off valve. Then bleed air. Refer to ``Bleed-
ing Hydraulic System'', ST-6.
2. Run engine at idle speed or 1,000 rpm.
Make sure ¯uid temperature in reservoir tank rises to 60 to
80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).
WARNING:
Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is
started with shut-off valve closed, ¯uid pressure in the power
steering pump increases to maximum. This will raise ¯uid tem-
perature abnormally.
3. Check pressure with steering wheel fully turned to left and right
positions with engine idling at 1,000 rpm.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
Power steering pump maximum operating pressure:
8,140 - 8,728 kPa (81.4 - 87.3 bar, 83 - 89 kg/cm
2,
1,180 - 1,266 psi)
+If pressure reaches maximum operating pressure, system is
OK.
+If pressure increases above maximum operating pressure,
check power steering pump ¯ow control valve. Refer to ST-16.

Inspection
+When steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the steer-
ing column as follows and replace damaged parts.
a. Check column bearings for damage and unevenness. Lubricate
with recommended multi-purpose grease or replace steering
column as an assembly, if necessary.
b. Check steering column lower shaft for deformation and break-
age. Replace if necessary.
+When the vehicle comes into a light collision, check length ``L
1''
and ``L
2''.
Steering column length ``L
1'':
679.9 - 681.5 mm (26.77 - 26.83 in)
Steering column lower shaft length ``L
2'':
489.3 - 493.3 mm (19.26 - 19.42 in)
If out of the speci®cations, replace steering column shaft or
steering column as an assembly.
Tilt mechanism
After installing steering column, check tilt mechanism operation.
