(6) When disposing of a vehicle or the airbag

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

(f)

FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
(1) Always place a removed or new front seat airbag

assembly with the airbag inflation direction
facing up.

(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 seat 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.

(5) When using electric welding anywhere on the

vehicle, disconnect the airbag ECU connectors
(2 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 a vehicle or the airbag

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

(g) FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY WITH

PRETENSIONER
(1) Never measure the resistance of the seat outer

belt. This may cause the pretensioner of the seat
belt to activate, which could cause serious injury.

(2) Never disassemble the seat outer belt.
(3) Never install the seat outer belt on another

vehicle.

(4) Store the seat outer belt in an area where the

ambient temperature is below 80

°C (176°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
(2 pins). These connectors contain shorting
springs. This feature reduces the possibility of
the pretensioner deploying due to currents
entering the squib wiring.

(6) When disposing of a vehicle or the seat outer

belt assembly by itself, the seat outer belt should
be activated before disposal. Activate it in a safe
place away from electrical noise.

(7) As the seat outer belt is hot after the

pretensioner is activated, allow some time for it
to cool down sufficiently before disposal. Never
apply water to try to cool down the seat outer
belt.

(8) Grease, detergents, oil or water should not be

applied to the front seat outer belt.

(h) AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY

(1) Never reuse an airbag sensor assembly that has

been involved in a collision where the SRS has
deployed.

(2) The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly

should be connected or disconnected with the
sensor placed on the floor. If the connectors are
connected or disconnected while the airbag
sensor assembly is not placed on the floor, the
SRS may activate.

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

the ignition switch is turned OFF and the cable is
disconnected from the negative (-) battery
terminal, even if only loosening the set bolts of
the airbag sensor assembly.

(i)

WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
(1) 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,
repair or replace it.

3.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL
(a) REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BATTERY

TERMINAL
NOTICE:
Certain systems need to be initialized after
disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from
the negative (-) battery terminal.
(1) Before performing electronic work, disconnect

the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to
prevent component and wire damage caused by
accidental short circuits.

(2) When disconnecting the cable, turn the ignition

switch off and the headlight dimmer switch OFF
and loosen the cable nut completely. Perform
these operations without twisting or prying the
cable. Then disconnect the cable.

(3) Clock settings, radio settings, audio system

memory, DTCs and other data are erased when
the cable is disconnected from the negative (-)
battery terminal. Write down any necessary data
before disconnecting the cable.

(b) HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC PARTS

(1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU

unless absolutely necessary. If the IC terminals
are touched, the IC may be rendered inoperative
by static electricity.

(2) Do not pull the wires when disconnecting

electronic connectors. Pull the connector.

(3) Be careful not to drop electronic components,

such as sensors or relays. If they are dropped
on a hard surface, they should be replaced.

(4) When cleaning the engine with steam, protect

the electronic components, air filter and
emission-related components from water.

(5) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install

temperature switches or temperature sensors.

(6) When measuring the resistance of a wire

connector, insert the tester probe carefully to
prevent terminals from bending.

4.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF FUEL CONTROL
PARTS
(a) PLACE FOR REMOVING AND INSTALLING FUEL

SYSTEM PARTS
(1) Work in a location with good air ventilation that

does not have welders, grinders, drills, electric
motors, stoves, or any other ignition sources.

(2) Never work in a pit or near a pit as vaporized

fuel will collect in those places.

(b) REMOVING AND INSTALLING FUEL SYSTEM

PARTS
(1) Prepare a fire extinguisher before starting the

operation.

(2) To prevent static electricity, install a ground wire

to the fuel changer, vehicle and fuel tank, and do
not spray the surrounding area with water. Be
careful when performing work in this area, as the
work surface will become slippery. Do not clean
up gasoline spills with water, as this may cause
the gasoline to spread, and possibly create a fire
hazard.

(3) Avoid using electric motors, working lights and

other electric equipment that can cause sparks
or high temperatures.

(4) Avoid using iron hammers as they may create

sparks.

(5) Dispose of fuel-contaminated cloth separately

using a fire resistant container.

5.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF ENGINE INTAKE
PARTS
(a) If any metal particles enter inlet system parts, they

may damage the engine.

(b) When removing and installing inlet system parts,

cover the openings of the removed parts and engine
openings. Use gummed tape or other suitable
materials.

(c) When installing inlet system parts, check that no

metal particles have entered the engine or the
installed parts.

6.

HANDLING OF HOSE CLAMPS
(a) Before removing the hose, check the clamp position

so that it can be reinstalled in the same position.

(b) Replace any deformed or dented clamps with new

ones.

(c) When reusing a hose, attach the clamp on the

clamp track portion of the hose.

(d) For a spring type clamp, you may want to spread

the tabs slightly after installation by pushing in the
direction of the arrows as shown in the illustration.

7.

FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE
COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
(a) Install the antenna as far away from the ECU and

sensors of the vehicle electronic systems as
possible.

(b) Install an antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.)

away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle
electronic systems. For details about ECU and
sensor locations, refer to the section of the
applicable components.
