GENERAL -How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points00-10
HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next page of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacing the ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.

ENGINE OILS
Health Warning
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate means of skin protection and washing facilities
must be provided.
Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by using enclosed systems for handling used engine
oil and by degreasing components, where practicable, before handling them.
Other precautions:
DAvoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
DWear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
DAvoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
DDo not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls without pockets will avoid this.
DDo not wear heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be cleaned regularly
and kept separately from personal clothing.
DWhere there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles
or face shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
DObtain First Aid treatment immediately for open cuts and wounds.
DWash regularly with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed, especially before meals (skin cleansers
and nail brushes will help). After cleaning, the application of preparations containing lanolin to replace
the natural skin oils is advised.
DDo not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
DUse barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin
after work.
DIf skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.

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.

INSPECTION
1. CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE (PLASTIC GAUGE
METHOD)
The oil clearance can be measured easily by using the
“plastic gauge”.
Use the following steps to use the “plastic gauge”.
(1) Wipe off all oil from the crankshaft’s outer diameter
and bearing’s inner diameter.
(2) Assemble the crankshaft.
(3) Set a plastic gauge as long as the bearing width
on the journal shaft so that straightly aligned with
the shaft centre.
(4) Carefully install the beam bearing cap, and tighten
the bolt at the specified torque 25±2N•m+90_
to 100_.
(5) Remove the bolt, and carefully remove the beam
bearing cap.
(6) Measure the width of the crushed plastic gauge (at
the section crushed the most) with the scale printed
on the plastic gauge bag.
Standard value: 0.03 - 0.04 mm
Limit value: 0.1 mm
2. CYLINDER BLOCK
(1) Visually check for the presence of scratches, rusting,
or corrosion, and using flaw detection agent, etc.,
check for cracks. If any faults are found, repair or
replace the part.
(2) Using a straight edge and thickness gauge, measure
the flatness of the cylinder block’s upper surface.
Make sure that no gasket pieces, etc., are adhered
to the upper surface of the cylinder block when
measuring.
