General Information - Repair Instruction1-6IllustrationRemoval/installation2. For Vehicles Equipped With SRS Airbag and Seat Belt Pretensioner
Tip: This is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), such as the driver airbag assembly,
front passenger airbag assembly airbag ECU and seat belt pretensioner. Failure to carry out service operations in
the correct sequence could cause the supplemental restraint system to unexpectedly deploy during servicing,
possibly leading to a serious accident. Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supplemental restraint
system, it is possible the SRS may fail to operate when required. Before servicing (including removal or instal-
lation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the following items carefully, then follow the correct
procedure described in this manual.
(1) General NoticeInstall Remove
Install Remove a. Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental restraint system are difficult to confirm, so the diagnostic
trouble codes become the most important source of information when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting
the supplemental restraint system, always inspect the diagnostic trouble codes before disconnecting the battery.
b. Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK"
position and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. (The supplemental restraint system
is equipped with a back--up power source so that if work is started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the
negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, the SRS may deploy.) When the negative (-) terminal cable is
disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio systems will be cancelled. So before starting
work, make a record of the contents memorized by the each memory system. Then when work is finished, reset
the clock and audio systems as before. To avoid erasing the memory of each memory system, never use a back-
up power supply from another battery.
General Information - Repair Instruction1-7 (3) Driver Airbag Assembly
a. When removing the driver airbag assembly or handling a new driver airbag assembly, it should be placed
with the steering wheel top surface facing up. Storing the steering wheel with its top surface facing downward
may lead to a serious accident if the airbag deploys for some reason. In addition do not store a driver airbag
assembly on top of another one.
b. Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib. (This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very
dangerous.)
c. Grease should not be applied to the driver airbag assembly and the pad should not be cleaned with
detergents of any kind. (2) Clock Spring (in combination switch)
The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the steering col-
umn with the clock spring at the neutral position, otherwise clock
spring disconnection and other troubles may result.
c. Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the driver airbag assembly, front
passenger airbag assembly and seat belt pretensioner should be inspected.
e. Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
f. Before repairs, remove the airbag ECU if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during repairs.
g. Never disassemble and repair the airbag ECU assembly, driver airbag assembly, front passenger airbag
assembly or seat belt pretensioner.
h. If the airbag ECU assembly, driver airbag assembly, front passenger airbag assembly or seat belt
pretensioner has been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector,
replace them with new ones.
i. Do not directly expose the airbag ECU assembly, driver airbag assembly, front passenger airbag assem-
bly or seat belt pretensioner to hot air or flames.
j. Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 k ohm/ V minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical
circuit.
Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instructions on the
notices.
After work on the supplemental restraint system is completed, check the SRS warning light MarkCorrectWrongd.

General Information - Repair Instruction1-93. Electronic Control Device
(1) Removal of the battery terminal cable
a. Before performing electrical servicing, disconnect the nega-
tive (-) cable from the battery in order to avoid short for burnout.
b. When disconnecting the terminal cable, turn off the ignition
and light switches, loosen the cable nut and raise the cable straight
up without twisting or prying it.
c. When disconnecting the terminal cable from the battery, all
information stored in the clock, radio and DTC shall be deleted,
therefore, these information shall be checked before disconnection.
(2) Processing of Electronic Parts
a. Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless absolutely
necessary. (If the IC terminals are touched, the IC may be destroyed
by static electricity.)
b. To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the connector itself,
not the wires.
c. Be careful not to drop electrical components, such as ECU
or relays. If they are dropped on a hard floor, they should be replaced
and not reused.
d. When steam cleaning an engine, protect the electronic
components, air filter and emission-related components from water.
e. Never use an impact wrench to remove or install tempera-
ture switches or temperature sensors.
f. When checking continuity at the wire connector, insert the
tester probe carefully to prevent terminals from bending.
4. Remove and Installation of Engine Intake Parts
(1) If any metal scrap is mixed in the inlet pass, that may give
a bad effect to the engine.
(2) When removing and installing of the inlet system parts, close (6) Airbag ECU
a. Never reuse the airbag ECU involved in a collision when the SRS has deployed.
b. The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly should be connected or disconnected with the airbag ECU
mounted on the floor. If the connectors are connected or disconnected while the airbag ECU is not mounted to
the floor, it could cause undesired inflation of the supplemental restraint system.
c. Work must be started after 60 seconds from the time the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" position
and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, even if only loosing the set bolts of the
airbag ECU.
(7) Wire Harness and Connector
The SRS wire harness is integrated with the instrument panel wire harness assembly. All the connectors in
the system are a standard yellow color. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected or the connector becomes
broken due to an accident, etc., repair or replace it.Negative(-)

Figure 7-23. Install transmission in the engine, its way like manual transmission. The torque converter cannot be allowed to
move in axial motion during operating (The dimension of A keeps constant). Install starter in the transmission
housing.
4. Connect Flexibility plate with torque converter, using 3 special bolts. The way is as follows. First, assemble one
bolt in the torque converter by the longer hole of the Flexibility plate, and then rotate engine belt pulley to install
the other bolts, finally use torque spanner to tighten the bolts. Tightening torque is 40~50N.m.
5. Install suspension bolt and drive shaft LH&RH, the assembling way like manual transmission.
6. Connect two cooling pipes as showed in the figure 7-3 with the corresponding pipe of transmission with clip.
7. Connect the cable between bracket of throttle and transmission actuator.
8. Throttle valve cable adjustment as follows:
First, use pliers to clip the hexangular position under throttle valve cable.Turn 60°~90°counterclockwise,
and lift throttle valve cable to make throttle valve cable adjustable move to top position, and then turn back
60°~90° clockwise, meanwhile, make it lock (See figure 7-4). Finally put accelerator pedal to end position.
When throttle valve makes "ka-ka" sound, the distance under the throttle valve should meet B=2~8mm. If not,
try again until the gap B=2~8mm under the throttle valve (see figure 7-5), if gap B=2-8mm, throttle valve cable
adjustment is finished.Central
