REMOVAL
CAUTION:
• Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery terminals and wait at
least three minutes.
• When servicing the SRS, do not work from directly in front of air bag module.
1. Remove the instrument lower panel LH. Refer to IP-15, "
Removal and Installation".
2. Remove the steering wheel. Refer to ST-18, "
Removal and Installation".
3. Remove the column cover upper and lower.
4. Remove wiper washer switch connector, then pinch the tabs at wiper and washer switch base and slide switch away from steer-
ing column to remove.

5. While pressing tabs, pull lighting and turn signal switch towarddriver door and disconnect from base.
6. Remove the screws, release the clip, and remove the spiral cable.
CAUTION:
• Do not disassemble spiral cable.
• Do not apply lubricant to the spiral cable.
7. Remove the spiral cable connectors. CAUTION:
With the steering linkage di sconnected, the spiral cable
may snap by turning the steer ing wheel beyond the limited
number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counter-
clockwise about 2.5 turns fr om the neutral position.
8. Remove the steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-118, "
Removal
and Installation".
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Align spiral cable correctly when installing steering wheel. Make
sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position. The neutral
position is detected by turning left 2.5 revolutions from the right
end position and ending with the knob at the top.
• If equipped with VDC, refer to BRC-8, "
ADJUSTMENT OF STEER-
ING ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION : Special Repair
Requirement" for steering angle sensor adjustment.
• After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to make sure no malfunction is detected. Refer to SRC-13, "
SRS Operation

< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
When shifting from the lock-up released state to the lock-up applied state, the current output to the torque con-
verter clutch solenoid is controlled with the TCM. In th is way, when shifting to the lock-up applied state, the
torque converter clutch is temporarily set to the half-clutched state to reduce the shock.
Half-clutched State
 The current output from the TCM to the torque converte r clutch solenoid is varied to gradually increase the
torque converter clutch solenoid pressure.
In this way, the lock-up apply pressure gradually rises and while the torque converter clutch piston is put into
half-clutched status, the torque converter clutch pi ston operating pressure is increased and the coupling is
completed smoothly.
Slip Lock-up Control
 In the slip region, the torque converter clutch solenoid current is controlled with the TCM to put it into the
half-clutched state. This absorbs the engine tor que fluctuation and lock-up operates from low speed.
This raises the fuel efficiency for 4GR and 5GR at both low speed and when the accelerator has a low
degree of opening.
Engine Brake ControlINFOID:0000000003771814
 The forward one-way clutch transmits the drive force from the engine to the rear wheels. But the reverse
drive from the rear wheels is not transmitted to the engine because the one-way clutch is idling.
Therefore, the low coast brake solenoid is operated to prevent the forward one-way clutch from idling and
the engine brake is operated in the same manner as conventionally.
 The operation of the low coast brake solenoid switches the low coast brake switching valve and controls the
coupling and releasing of the low coast brake.
The low coast brake reducing valve contro ls the low coast brake coupling force.
Control ValveINFOID:0000000003771815
FUNCTION OF CONTROL VALVE
SCIA1520E
Name Function
Torque converter regulator valve In order to prevent the pressure supplied to the torque converter from being excessive,
the line pressure is adjusted to the optimum pressure (torque converter operating pres-
sure).
Pressure regu lator valve
Pressure regulator plug
Pressure regu lator sleeve Adjusts the oil discharged from the oil pump to the optimum pressure (line pressure) for
the driving state.
Front brake control valve When the front brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure (front
brake pressure) and supplies it to the front brake. (In 1GR, 2GR, 3GR, and 5GR, adjusts
the clutch pressure.)
Accumulator control valve Adjusts the pressure (accumulator control pressure) acting on the accumulator piston
and low coast reducing valve to the pressure appropriate to the driving state.

Precaution for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)INFOID:0000000003775256
WARNING:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refr igerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants
are mixed compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer to HA-4, "
Contaminated Refrigerant". To deter-
mine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use recovery/recycling equip-
ment and refrigerant identifier.
• Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If
oil other than that specified is used, compressor fa ilure is likely to occur.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil rapidly absorb s moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of mois ture from the atmosphere.
- When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the co mponents. Connect all refrigerant lo op components as quickly as possible
to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Immediately r eseal containers of oil. Without
proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturat ed and should not be used.
- Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system usi ng certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling eq uipment], or J2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery
equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs , ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety information may be ob tained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
- Do not allow A/C oil to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.
Precaution for Procedur e without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000003775257
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
