PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE

CAUTIONS FOR WORKING IN ENGINE
COMPARTMENT

M1001016800022

WARNING

Just after the ignition switch is turned to "LOCK"
(OFF) position, the adjustments must always be made
with the cooling fan stopped. After the ignition switch
is turned to "LOCK" (OFF) position, the cooling fan
might be driven for a few minutes by the after run fan
control. If the adjustments are made with the cooling
fan driven, injury or damage may occur.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

M1001011600636

1. Items to review when servicing SRS:

(1) Be sure to read GROUP 52B, Supplemental

Restraint System (SRS). For safe operation,
please follow the directions and heed all
warnings.

(2) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting

the battery cable before doing any further
work. The SRS system is designed to retain
enough voltage to deploy the air bag even
after the battery has been disconnected.
Serious injury may result from unintended air
bag deployment if work is done on the SRS
system immediately after the battery cable is
disconnected.

(3) Warning labels must be heeded when

servicing or handling SRS components.
Warning labels can be found in the following
locations.
• Air bag module (Driver's or front

passenger's)
• Clock spring
• SRS-ECU
• Knee air bag module
• Sun visor
• Seat belt pre-tensioner
• Side-airbag module (Driver's side and front

passenger's side)
• Curtain air bag module (Driver's side and

front passenger's side)
• Center pillar (Driver's side and front

passenger's side)
• Glove box

(4) Always use the designated special tools and

test equipment.

(5) Store components removed from the SRS in a

clean and dry place. The air bag module
should be stored on a flat surface and placed
so that the pad surface is facing upward.

(6) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the

SRS components (SRS-ECU, air bag module
and clock spring). If there is a defect, replace
the defective part.

(7) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check

the SRS warning light operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.

(8) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing

of the air bag module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag (Refer to GROUP
52B

P.52B-417

, Air Bag Module Disposal

Procedures).

2. Observe the following when carrying out

operations on places where SRS components are
installed, including operations not directly related
to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts, do not allow

any impact or shock to occur to the SRS
components.

(2) If heat damage may occur during paint work,

remove the SRS-ECU, the air bag module,
clock spring, the front impact sensor, the side
impact sensor, and the seat belt pre-tensioner.

• SRS-ECU, air bag module, clock spring, front

impact sensor, the side impact sensor: 93

° C

(200

° F) or more

• Seat belt pre-tensioner: 90 ° C (194 ° F) or more
