PRECAUTION CAUTION:
(a) If a mistake is made when servicing SRS parts, they may fail to operate when required. Before performing service (including installation/removal, inspection and replacement of parts), be sure to read the following precautions.
PRECAUTION FOR DISCONNECTING CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL (a) As SRS malfunctions are difficult to confirm, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) become the most important source of information when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the SRS, always check for DTCs before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. (b) Make sure to turn the engine switch off before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. NOTICE: After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work. Click here
HINT: When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal while performing repairs, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected. Click here (c) Work must be started at least 90 seconds after the engine switch is turned off and the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal. CAUTION: The SRS is equipped with a back-up power source. If work is started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, the SRS parts may deploy.  (d) When the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, the memory of various systems 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 to its previous state. Click here GENERAL PRECAUTION (a) Information labels are attached to the SRS parts. Follow the instructions on the labels. (b) Never disassemble or attempt to repair any of the SRS parts. (c) If any of the SRS parts are dropped, or if any cracks, dents or other defects are found, replace them with new parts. (d) Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, use new parts. (e) Do not expose any of the SRS parts directly to high temperatures or flames. (f) If the vehicle has been involved in a minor collision where the SRS did not deploy, the SRS parts should be inspected before further use of the vehicle. (g) Do not apply grease, detergent, oil or water to the SRS parts. If applied, immediately wipe it off with a dry cloth. (h) When deploying or storing the SRS parts, avoid places with a high temperature (ambient temperature of 93°C (199°F) or higher for an airbag and 80°C (176°F) or higher for a pretensioner) and high humidity, and keep them away from electrical noise. (i) Do not stack or place anything on top of the SRS parts. CAUTION: Dispose of the airbags according to the disposal procedures for each airbag.  (j) Never measure the resistance of the SRS parts. CAUTION: Never measure the resistance of the SRS parts because current from the tester may cause the SRS parts to deploy.  (k) Use a voltmeter/ohmmeter with high impedance (minimum = 10 kΩ) for troubleshooting electrical circuits. (l) Be sure to check the SRS warning light and multi-information display after checking, removing and installing, or replacing the airbag and sensor. PRECAUTION FOR HORN BUTTON ASSEMBLY, LOWER NO. 1 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, LOWER NO. 2 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, INSTRUMENT PANEL PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY AND REAR SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (a) Keep the deployment side of an airbag facing upward even when the airbag is temporarily removed during service. CAUTION: Always place a removed or a new airbag with the deployment side facing upward. Placing the airbag with the deployment side facing downward could cause a serious accident if the airbag deploys.  (b) When storing an airbag, do not place anything on top of it or place it in a pile. PRECAUTION FOR FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (PRETENSIONER) AND REAR SEAT 3 POINT TYPE BELT ASSEMBLY (PRETENSIONER) (a) Do not touch the area around the retractor, even when a front seat outer belt assembly or rear seat 3 point type belt assembly is temporarily removed during service. CAUTION: If the pretensioner unexpectedly deploys and the front seat outer belt assembly or rear seat 3 point type belt assembly is retracted during an operation, it could cause a serious accident.  (b) When storing a pretensioner, do not place objects on top of it or place it in a pile. PRECAUTION FOR SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY (a) Do not remove/install the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with the battery connected and the engine switch on (IG). (b) Do not rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly without the steering wheel assembly installed, with the battery connected and the engine switch on (IG). (c) Ensure that the steering wheel assembly is installed and aligned straight when inspecting the steering sensor. (d) When rotating the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly, make sure to push on the interlock to release the interlock mechanism. (e) Removing the steering sensor from the spiral cable sub-assembly without using a lock pin may result in a misaligned center position of the steering sensor. Therefore, make sure to use the lock pin provided with a new spiral cable sub-assembly when removing the steering sensor from the spiral cable sub-assembly. (f) Be sure that the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is in the neutral position during installation and when removing and installing the steering wheel assembly. Click here NOTICE: If the steering wheel assembly is turned without the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly installed in the neutral position, the cable may break. PRECAUTION FOR AIRBAG SENSORS (a) When the SRS parts are deployed (including when only an airbag or pretensioner is deployed) due to a collision, be sure to replace all sensors in the damaged areas (anywhere in need of repair) and the airbag ECU assembly. (b) Visually check the airbag sensors in undamaged areas for defects. (1) The defects are as follows:
OK: No defects are found. If any defects are found or an airbag sensor has detected a major collision, replace the airbag sensor with a new one. (c) When disconnecting or reconnecting a connector of the airbag ECU assembly, front airbag sensor, side airbag pressure sensor, side No. 1 airbag sensor, side No. 2 airbag sensor and seat position airbag sensor connectors, make sure to do so with the sensor installed to the vehicle. (d) If a sensor has been dropped make sure to replace it with a new one. (e) If a sensor has been subjected to strong impact make sure to replace it with a new one. (f) Never disassemble any of the SRS parts. PRECAUTION WHEN REPLACING AIRBAG ECU ASSEMBLY (a) When the airbag ECU assembly is replaced, perform zero point learning for the yaw rate and acceleration sensor. Click here HINT: The yaw rate and acceleration sensor is built into the airbag ECU assembly. PRECAUTION FOR WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (a) All wire harnesses except unexposed harnesses in the engine compartment are colored yellow. (b) As special connectors are used, be careful when handling them. WHEN SERVICING DAMAGED VEHICLE (a) Before using an electric welder on the vehicle, remove any SRS parts around the area being repaired. (b) Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor assemblies/airbag ECU assembly if impacts are likely to be applied to the sensor during repairs. (c) Never expose an airbag sensor directly to high temperatures. (d) As the SRS parts are very hot after being deployed, ensure that all wire harnesses and connectors around deployed SRS parts are not damaged. PRECAUTION FOR SIDE AIRBAG PRESSURE SENSOR (a) Do not make any modifications to the front door that may change the inner pressure of the front door. (b) Do not allow any foreign matter to enter the side airbag pressure sensor as it may affect the pressure detection performance of the sensor. (c) When painting the front door, remove or apply protective tape to the side airbag pressure sensor to prevent paint from attaching to it. (d) Make sure that the parts which maintain the sealing performance of the front door are securely installed. If the sealing performance of the front door decreases, the pressure detection performance of the side airbag pressure sensor may be affected. Repair or replace parts as necessary. CONDITIONS WHEN INSPECTION OF SRS PARTS IS NECESSARY (a) When the vehicle is damaged in a collision, even if the SRS parts are not deployed. (b) When SRS system DTCs are output. |
