GENERAL -Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)00-22
SRS SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
1. In order to avoid injury to yourself or others
from accidental deployment of the air bag and
accidental operation of the seat belt with
pre-tensioner during servicing, read and
carefully follow all the precautions and
procedures described in this manual.
2. Do not use any electrical test equipment on
or near SRS components, except those
specified on P.52B-6.
3. Never Attempt to Repair the Following
Components:
DSRS air bag control unit (SRS-ECU)
DClock spring
DDriver’s and front passenger’s air bag
modules
DSeat belt with pre-tensionerNOTE
If any of these components are diagnosed as
faulty, they should only be replaced, in
accordance with the INDIVIDUAL COM-
PONENTS SERVICE procedures in this
manual. (Refer to P.52B-49.)
4. After disconnecting the negative (–) battery cable,
wait 60 seconds at least before any service and
insulate the disconnected cable with tape. The SRS
retain enough voltage to deploy the air bags for a
short time even after the disconnection of the battery.
So, serious injury may result by accidental air bag
deployment if a work is done on the SRS just after
the disconnection of the battery.
5. Do not attempt to repair the wiring harness connectors
of the SRS. If the connector(s) are diagnosed as defective,
replace the wiring harness(es). If the harness(es) are
diagnosed as faulty, replace or repair the wiring
harness(es) according to the table that follows.

6. Inspection of the SRS-ECU harness connector should be carried out by the following procedure.
Insert the special tool (probe, MB991222, in the harness set) into the connector from harness side
(rear side), and connect the tester to this probe. If any tool than specified is used, damage to the
harness and other components will result. Furthermore, measurement should not be carried out by
touching the probe directly against the terminals from the front of the connector. The terminals are
plated to increase their conductivity, so that if they are touched directly by the probe, the plating
may break, which will cause drops in reliability.

7. SRS components and seat belt with pre-tensioner should not be subjected to hart, so remove the
SRS-ECU, driver’s and front passenger’s air bag modules, clock spring, and seat belt with pre-tensioner
before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
DSRS - ECU, air bag module, clock spring : 93Æ
or more
DSeat belt with pre-tensioner : 90Æ
or more
8. Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check warning lamp operation to make sure that the system
functions properly. (Refer to P.52B-6.)
9. Make certain that the ignition switch is LOCK (OFF) position when the MUT-IIis connected or
disconnected.
10. If you have any questions about the SRS, please contact your local distributor.
NOTE
SERIOUS INJURY CAN RESULT FROM UNINTENDED AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, SO USE ONLY
THE PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK
1. Check that the indicator marking of the auto-tensioner
is within the range as shown in the illustration A of the
tensioner bracket.
Caution
Inspection must be carried out after turning the
crankshaft clockwise for more than once.
2. If the marking is outside the range as shown in the
illustration A, replace the drive belt.
NOTE
Due to the adoption of the auto-tensioner, no adjustment
for belt tension is required.
AUTO-TENSIONER CHECK
1. Check that the driver belt stays within the width of the
pulley of the auto-tensioner after turning off the engine
at idle.
2. Remove the drive belt.(Refer to P.11C-15.)
3. Use the 12.7sq. spinner handle and etc. to check that
the auto-tensioner is not stuck by turning it in both
directions.
4. If there is any abnormality in the above - mentioned 1
or 3, replace the auto-tensioner.
5. Install the drive belt.(Refer to P.11C-15.)
To determine whether the auto-tensioner is acceptable can
be done by checking the drive belt tension.
1. Use the following procedure to check the drive belt tension.
(1) Connect the special tool (MB991668) to the MUT-II.
(2) Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
Caution
Connection and disconnection of the MUT-IImust
be carried out after turning the ignition switch
to the “LOCK” (OFF) position.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position and select
“Belt Tension Measurement” from the menu screen.

(4) Hold the special tool (MB991668) to the middle of
the belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated
by the arrow) about 10 - 20 mm away from the rear
surface and so that it is perpendicular to the belt
(within an angle of±15°).
(5) Gently tap the middle of the belt between the pulleys
(at the place indicated by the arrow) with your finger
as shown in the illustration, and check that the
vibration frequency of the belt is within the standard
value.
Standard value: 110 - 144 Hz
Caution
1) Check the vibration frequency of the belt when
the temperature of the surface of the belt is
as close as possible to normal temperature.
2) Do not let any contaminants such as water
or oil get onto the microphone.
3) If strong gusts of wind blow against the
microphone or if there are any loud sources
of noise nearby, the values measured by the
microphone may not correspond to actual
values.
4) If the microphone is touching the belt while
the measurement is being made, the values
measured by the microphone may not
correspond to actual values.
5) Do not take the measurement while the
vehicle’s engine is running.
Use the belt tension gauge and check that the belt tension
of the middle of the belt between pulleys
(at the place indicated by arrow) is within the standard
value.
Standard value: 245 - 412 N
2. If the value is outside the standard value, replace the
drive belt.Power steering
