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 UNNECESSARY SRS
REPAIRS.
The SRS control unit in Driver–Passenger SRS can
maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment fo
r
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 assembl
y
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 the
key.
1. Remove the SRS fuse “SRS”, from the side of the driver’s side of the instrument panel fuse block o
r
disconnect the battery.
2. Disconnect the yellow connector at the base of the steering column.
3. Remove the glove box assembly, refer to “Passenger Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in
this manual.
4. Disconnect the yellow connector behind the glove box assembly.
CAUTION: With the “SRS” fuse removed and
ignition switched “ON”, the “SRS” 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 or different model year air bag
assembly.
Use only a new air bag assembly matched to the
TFR/S which is being repaired.
Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove the
key.
1. Connect the yellow connector passenger air bag assembly.
2. Install the glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenger air bag assembly replacement” in this
manual.
3. Connect the yellow connector at the base of the steering column.
4. Install the “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to the side of the driver’s side of the instrument panel fuse block o
r
connect the battery.
Turn the ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the
“SRS” warning lamp flashes seven times and then
turns to “LOCK”. If it does not operate as described,
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this
manual.

Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. The air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 65
°C (150°F).
2. The 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. W hen the 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 “SRS”
warning lamp operation and will lead you to the
correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in
extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and
incorrect parts replacement.

7. Clear a space on the ground about 183 cm (six
feet) in diameter where the driver air bag assembl
y
is to be deployed. A paved, outdoor location
where there is no activity is preferred. If an
outdoor location is not available, a space on the
shop floor where there is no activity and there is
sufficient ventilation is recommended. Ensure no
loose or flammable objects are within the
deployment area.






RTW 79ASH001201
8. Place the driver air bag assembly, with its trim
cover facing up, on the ground in the space just
cleared.
9. Stretch the SRS deployment harness and pigtail adapter from the driver air bag assembly to its full
length.
10. Place a power source near the shorted end of the SRS deployment harness. Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum.
A vehicle battery is suggested.
11. Connect the driver air bag assembly to the pigtail adapter on the SRS deployment harness. The
deployment harness shall remain shorted and not
be connected to a power source until the air bag is
to be deployed. The driver air bag assembly will
immediately deploy the air bag when a powe
r
source is connected to it.
NOTE: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated
into the driver air bag assembly connector. Failure to
fully seat the connectors may leave the shorting ba
r
located in the driver air bag assembly connecto
r
functioning (shorted) and may result in no deployment
of the driver air bag assembly.
12. Verify that the area around the driver air bag assembly is clear of all people and loose o
r
flammable objects.
13. Verify that the driver air bag assembly is resting with its trim cover facing up.

NOTE: W hen the air bag deploys, the driver air bag
assembly may jump about 30 cm (one foot) vertically.
This is a normal reaction of the driver air bag to the
force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag.

NOTE: W hen the air bag deploys, the rapid gas
expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deplo
y
the driver air bag.

WARNING: THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL
REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO
A POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN
A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO
THE POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
LAST STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
16. Connect the SRS deployment harness wires to the power source to immediately deploy the driver ai
r
bag. Recommended application: 12 volts
minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is
suggested.
17. Disconnect the SRS deployment harness from the power source.
18. Short the two SRS deployment harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the
other.
19. In the unlikely event that the driver air bag assembly did not deploy after following these
procedures, proceed immediately with Steps 24
through 26. If 19. the driver air bag assembly did
deploy, proceed with Steps 20 through 23.
20. Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed
driver air bag assembly. After the air bag assembl
y
has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may
contain a powdery residue. This power consists
primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag
as it inflates) and by-products of the chemical
reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye
soap) is produced as a by-product of the
deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then
quickly reacts with the atmospheric moisture and
is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikel
y
that sodium hydroxide will be present after
deployment.

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE
METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE INFLATOR
MODULE TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY
METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE
DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
AFTER A DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN
DEPLOYED, THE METAL CANISTER AND
SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE DRIVER AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY WILL BE VERY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH
THE METAL AREAS OF THE DRIVER AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AFTER
DEPLOYMENT. IF THE DEPLOYED DRIVER AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE MOVED BEFORE IT IS
COOL, WEAR GLOVES AND HANDLE BY THE AIR
BAG OR TRIM COVER.
21. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver ai
r
bag assembly as soon after deployment as
possible. This will prevent damage to the pigtail
adapter or SRS deployment harness due to
possible contact with the hot driver air bag
assembly canister. The pigtail adapter can be
reused. They should, however, be inspected fo
r
damage after each deployment and replaced i
f
necessary.
22. Dispose of the deployed driver air bag assembl
y
through normal refuse channels after it has cooled
for at least 30 minutes.
23. W ash your hands with mild soap and wate
r
afterward.
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that the driver air bag assembly did not
deploy after following these procedures.
24. Ensure that the SRS deployment harness has been disconnected from the power source and that
its two banana plugs have been shorted togethe
r
by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
25. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver ai
r
bag assembly.
WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE
INFLATOR MODULE UNATTENDED ON A BENCH
OR OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE BAG
AND TRIM COVER UP AND AWAY FROM THE
SURFACE. THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A FREE

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 a 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 OR
