(2) Work must be started at least 90 seconds after

the ignition switch is turned OFF and after the
cable is disconnected from the negative (-)
battery terminal.
(The SRS is equipped with a backup power
source. If work is started within 90 seconds after
turning the ignition switch OFF and
disconnecting the cable from the negative (-)
battery terminal, the SRS may deploy.
When the cable is disconnected from the
negative (-) battery terminal, clock and audio
system memory is erased. Before starting work,
make a note of the settings of each memory
system. When work is finished, reset the clock
and audio system as before.
CAUTION:
Never use a backup power source (battery or
other) to avoid erasing system memory. The
backup power source may inadvertently
power the SRS and cause it to deploy.

(3) Even in cases of a minor collision where the

SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad,
front passenger airbag assembly, front seat side
airbag assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly
and seat belt pretensioner should be inspected

(4) In minor collisions where the SRS does not

deploy, the steering wheel pad, front passenger
airbag assembly, front seat side airbag
assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly and
seat belt pretensioner should be inspected
before further use of the vehicle.

(5) Never use SRS parts from another vehicle.

When replacing parts, use new parts.

(6) Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor

assemblies if impacts are likely to be applied to
the sensor during repairs.

(7) Never disassemble and attempt to repair the

steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag
assembly, side airbag assembly, curtain shield
airbag assembly and seat belt pretensioner.

(8) Replace the steering wheel pad, front passenger

airbag assembly, front seat side airbag
assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly and
seat belt pretensioner if: 1) damage has
occurred from being dropped, or 2) cracks, dents
or other defects in the case, bracket or
connector are present.

(9) Do not directly expose the airbag sensor

assemblies or airbag assemblies to hot air or
flames.

(10)Use an ohmmeter / voltmeter with high

impedance (10 k

Ω/V minimum) for

troubleshooting electrical circuits.

(11)Information labels are attached to the SRS

components. Follow the instructions on the
labels.

(12)After work on the SRS is completed, check the

SRS warning light.

(b) SPIRAL CABLE

(1) The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the

steering column with the spiral cable at the
neutral position, as cable disconnection and
other problems may occur. Refer to the
information about correct installation of the
steering wheel.

(c) STEERING PAD

(1) Always place a removed or new steering pad

surface upward as shown in the illustration.
Placing the horn button with the pad surface
facing down could cause a serious accident if
the airbag inflates. Also, do not place anything
on top of the horn button.

(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag

squib. This may cause the airbag to inflate,
which could cause serious injury.

(3) Grease or detergents of any kind should not be

applied to the horn button.

(4) Store the horn button assembly in an area where

the ambient temperature is below 93

°C (200°F),

the humidity is not high and there is no electrical
noise.

(5) When using electric welding anywhere on the

vehicle, disconnect the airbag ECU connectors
(4 pins). These connectors contain shorting
springs. This feature reduces the possibility of
the airbag deploying due to currents entering the
squib wiring.

(6) When disposing of the vehicle or the horn button

assembly by itself, the airbag should be
deployed using SST before disposal. Activate
the airbag in a safe place away from electrical
noise.

(d) FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY

(1) Always place a removed or new front passenger

airbag assembly with the pad surface facing
upward as shown in the illustration. Placing the
airbag assembly with the airbag inflation
direction facing down could cause a serious
accident if the airbag inflates.

(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag

squib. This may cause the airbag to inflate,
which could cause serious injury.

(3) Grease or detergents of any kind should not be

applied to the front passenger airbag assembly.

(4) Store the airbag assembly in an area where the

ambient temperature is below 93

°C (200°F), the

humidity is not high and there is no electrical
noise.

assembly unit by itself, the airbag should be
deployed using SST before disposal. Activate
the airbag in a safe place away from electrical
noise.

(e) CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY

(1) Always place a removed or new curtain shield

airbag assembly in a clear plastic bag, and keep
it in a safe place.

CAUTION:
The plastic bag is not reusable.
NOTICE:
Never disassemble the curtain shield airbag
assembly.

(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag

squib. This may cause the airbag to inflate,
which could cause serious injury.

(3) Grease or detergents of any kind should not be

applied to the curtain shield airbag assembly.

(4) Store the airbag assembly in an area where the

ambient temperature is below 93
