SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

1.

Items to review when servicing SRS

(1)

Be sure to read Service Manual 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.

(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.

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

SECURING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle is raised on a jack, be sure to always support it with
jack stands positioned at the specified points.

CLEARING THE AREA OF FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
Because of the presence of many various kinds of flammable
materials, organic solvents, etc., in the work area, there is
always the possibility of a fire or explosion. It is, therefore,
important to keep the work area as clear as possible of such
dangerous materials.

HANDLING ELECTRONIC PARTS AND SEMICONDUCTORS

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.

BODY REPAIR

ZB6002570000

When the body is used as the ground during welding for body
repairs, be absolutely sure to first disconnect the battery's
positive (+) cable.

｠

Be sure that both the ignition and lighting switches are
"LOCK" (OFF) position before either disconnecting or
reconnecting a battery cable. (If this is not done,
equipment containing semiconductors could be
damaged).

｠

Note that the memory of electronic equipment having a
memory function will be cleared when the battery cable is
disconnected.

NOTE:

Vehicles today include a great many electronic parts

and components, and these are in general very susceptible
to adverse effects caused by overcurrent, reverse current,
electromagnetic waves, high temperature, high humidity,
impacts, etc. In particular, such electronic components can
be damaged if there is a large current flow during welding
from the body side, etc.This is because, for electronic
components that incorporate a back-up circuit (for memory
retention) that functions (by a trickle current) even when
the ignition switch is at OFF, an electronic circuit is
formed even when the switch is at OFF.

HANDLING COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
If welding work is to be done in the area of the fuel tank, the fuel
tank must be removed to prevent the generation of flammable
gases. Also be sure to cap the inlet port and the pipes of the fuel
tank after removal to prevent the escape of any fuel or flammable
gases.
Wipe up any fuel, oil, etc., spilled in the work area as soon as
possible.
Only the amounts of paint to be used for the day's work should
be in the work area; do not keep excessive amounts of paint, or
paint which is not going to be used, in the work area.

HEALTH AND SANITATION PROCEDURES

The following points should be noted for employee health and
sanitation.

｠

The work area should be well ventilated in order to prevent the
inhalation of dust, organic solvent vapors, etc.

｠

All unused paint cans must be securely covered.

｠

Care should be taken to avoid exposure to the skin of
adhesives, organic solvents, etc.
If an unavoidable exposure occurs, the exposed area should
be immediately washed with clean water.

VEHICLE PROTECTION

ZB6002580000

ZB6002590000

｠

Vehicle covers (fender covers, seat covers, etc.) and tape (if
there is the possibility of damage by tools, equipment, etc.)
should be used to protect painted surfaces, interior/exterior
parts and components, etc., from staining and damage.

｠

For welding operations, a heat-resistant protective cover
should be used to protect glass, seats, instrument panel,
carpeting, etc.

HEAT-WITHSTAND TEMPERATURES OF RESIN-PLASTIC PARTS

M40900000160USA0000010000

Because resin-plastic parts are deformed by heat,
they should be removed if the heat to be applied is

high enough to cause deformation, as shown by the
