SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

caution

Never heat or incinerate the airbag modules and the seat belt pre-tensioners.

1.In order to avoid injury to yourself or others from accidental deployment of the SRS air bag during servicing, read and carefully follow all the precautions and procedures described in this manual.

2.Be sure to use the tester and special tools specified in this manual (Special tool: refer to , tester: refer to ).

3.Never attempt to repair the following components:

SRS-ECU
Driver’s air bag module
Clock spring
Passenger’s (front) air bag module
Knee air bag module
Curtain air bag module
Front seat assembly incorporating side-airbag module
Seat belt with pre-tensioner
Front impact sensor
Side impact sensor

4.Never attempt to repair the wiring harness connectors of the SRS. If a defective wiring harness is found, repair or replace it by referring to the table follows.

SRS-ECU terminal No.	Destination of wiring harness	Measures
1, 2	Instrument panel wiring harness → knee air bag module	Repair or replace the instrument panel wiring harness.
5, 6	Instrument panel wiring harness → clock spring → driver’s air bag module (squib)	Replace the clock spring, or repair or replace the instrument panel wiring harness.
7, 8	Instrument panel wiring harness → passenger’s (front) air bag module (1st squib)	Repair or replace the instrument panel wiring harness.
9, 10	Instrument panel wiring harness → passenger’s (front) air bag module (2nd squib)	Repair or replace the instrument panel wiring harness.
13	Instrument panel wiring harness → centre panel assembly	Repair or replace the instrument panel wiring harness.
17, 27	Instrument panel wiring harness → front wiring harness → front impact sensor (LH)	Repair or replace the wiring harnesses.
18, 28	Instrument panel wiring harness → front wiring harness → front impact sensor (RH)	Repair or replace the wiring harnesses.
21	Floor wiring harness → ETACS-ECU (fuse No. 18)	Repair or replace the floor wiring harness.
22	Floor wiring harness → ETACS-ECU (fuse No. 12)	Repair or replace the floor wiring harness.
24	Instrument panel wiring harness → earth	Repair or replace the instrument panel wiring harness.
25,26	Instrument panel wiring harness → passenger’s air bag cut off switch
29, 30	Instrument panel wiring harness → CAN bus line
31, 32	Floor wiring harness → front passenger’s seat belt pre-tensioner	Repair or replace the floor wiring harness.
34,35	Floor wiring harness → passenger’s lap pre-tensioner
36, 37	Floor wiring harness → curtain air bag module (LH)
39, 40	Floor wiring harness → side-airbag module (LH)
41, 42	Floor wiring harness → side impact sensor (LH)
54, 55	Floor wiring harness → driver’s seat belt pre-tensioner
56, 57	Floor wiring harness → side-airbag module (RH)
59, 60	Floor wiring harness → curtain air bag module (RH)
64, 65	Floor wiring harness → side impact sensor (RH)

5.Before maintenance, wait for 60 seconds or more after the disconnection of the battery (-) terminal. Wrap the disconnected (-) terminal with tape for insulation. The condenser inside SRS-ECU keeps a voltage necessary to expand the air bag for a certain period even after the IG power is turned OFF. Therefore, if any operation is performed before the period elapses, it may cause serious damage.
6.If the influence of heat is suspected during painting work, remove the following parts:

93°C or higher SRS-ECU, air bag module, clock spring, front impact sensor, side impact sensor
90 °C or higher Seat belt with pre-tensioner

7.After the maintenance of the SRS air bag and seat belt with pre-tensioner is completed, be sure to delete the diagnosis code and check whether the SRS warning lamp lights up (refer to ).
