SRS -SRS Service Precautions52B-3
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.

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

CONNECTOR FOR SRS AIR BAG
The SRS air bag system connector is yellow or red.
To enhance system reliability, a connector lock switch is adopted for the SRS-ECU connector, and each

SQUIB CIRCUIT CONNECTOR LOCK SWITCH
Mechanism to automatically short-circuit the power supply terminal and the earth terminal of the air bag squib
circuit when the connector is disconnected. The short spring inside the connector allows to short-circuit the
power supply terminal and the earth terminal of the squib (no difference in voltage occurs between the
terminals) to prevent the squib from getting charged with static electricity.
CAUTION
When the connector is disconnected, it is normal for short-circuiting to occur between the connector
terminals.
