PRECAUTION

CAUTION:

  • The vehicle is equipped with SRS, which consists of a driver airbag, front passenger airbag, side airbag and curtain shield airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the SRS, it is possible that the SRS may fail to operate when required. Before performing servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the following items carefully, then follow the correct procedures indicated in the repair manual.

  • Wait at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ”LOCK” position and the negative (−) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery before starting the operation.

    (The SRS is equipped with a back−up power source, so that if work is started within 90 seconds after disconnecting the negative (−) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may be deployed.)

  • Do not expose the horn button assy, front passenger airbag assy, airbag sensor assy center, airbag sensor front, front seat airbag assy, side airbag sensor assy, curtain shield airbag assy, airbag sensor rear or seat position airbag sensor directly to hot air or flames.

  • Be sure to perform the initialization of the occupant classification ECU under the conditions listed below (See page 05−1452). If the initialization is not performed, the SRS may not operate properly.

  • The occupant classification ECU is replaced.

  • Accessories (seatback tray or seat cover, etc.) are installed to the vehicle.

  • The passenger seat is removed from the vehicle.

  • Both the SRS warning light and passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator light (”OFF”) come on.

  • The vehicle is brought to the workshop for repair purpose due to an accident or collision.

NOTICE:

  • Malfunction symptoms of the SRS are difficult to confirm, so DTCs are the most important source of information when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the SRS, always inspect DTCs before disconnecting the battery.

  • Even in the case of a minor collision when the SRS does not deploy, the horn button assy, front passenger airbag assy, airbag sensor assy center, airbag sensor front, front seat airbag assy, side airbag sensor assy, curtain shield airbag assy, airbag sensor rear and seat position airbag sensor should be inspected.

  • Before repair work, remove the airbag sensor if any kin of shock is likely to occur to the airbag sensor during the operation.

  • Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing the parts, replace them with new ones.

  • Never disassemble or repair the horn button assy, front passenger airbag assy, airbag sensor assy center, airbag sensor front, front seat airbag assy, side airbag sensor assy, curtain shield airbag assy, airbag sensor rear or seat position airbag sensor in order to reuse it.

  • If the horn button assy, front passenger airbag assy, airbag sensor assy center, airbag sensor front, front seat airbag assy, side airbag sensor assy, curtain shield airbag assy, airbag sensor rear or seat position airbag sensor has been dropped, or if there are any cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace it with a new one.

  • Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V minimum) for troubleshooting the electrical circuits.

  • Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instructions in the caution.

  • After work on the SRS is completed, perform the SRS warning light check.

  • When the negative (−) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the memory will be cleared. Because of this, be sure to make a record of the contents memorized in each system before starting work. When work is finished, adjust each system as it was before. Never use a back−up power supply from outside the vehicle to avoid erasing the memory in any system.

  • If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system

1. DEPLOYMENT CONDITION

a. When the vehicle collides and the shock is greater than the specified value, the SRS is activated automatically.

The airbag sensor assy center includes the safing sensor and deceleration sensor. The safing sensor was designed to be turned on at a smaller deceleration rate than the deceleration sensor.

The deceleration sensor determines whether or not ignition is necessary based on signals from the airbag sensor front. Current flows to the squibs to deploy the SRS when the conditions shown in the illustrations below are met.

2. SRS CONNECTORS

2. SRS CONNECTORS

HINT: SRS connectors are located as shown in the following illustration.

a. All connectors in the SRS are colored yellow to distinguish

a. All connectors in the SRS are colored yellow to distinguish them from other connectors, except seat position airbag sensor connector and occupant classification ECU connector. Some connectors have special functions, and are specially designed for the SRS. These connectors use durable gold−plated terminals, and are placed in the locations shown on the previous page to ensure high reliability.

  1. Terminal twin−lock mechanism: Each connector has a two−piece component consisting of a housing and a spacer. This design enables the terminal to be locked securely by two locking devices (the retainer and the lance) to prevent terminals from coming out.

  2. Activation prevention mechanism: Each connector contains a short spring plate. When the connector is disconnected, the short spring plate automatically connects the positive (+) terminal and the negative (−) terminal of the squib.

3. Half connection prevention mechanism:

3. Half connection prevention mechanism: If the connector is not completely connected, the connector is disconnected due to the spring operation so that no continuity exists.

4. Connector lock mechanism 1.:

4. Connector lock mechanism 1.: Locking the connector lock button connects the connector securely.

5. Connector lock mechanism 2.:
