SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM {SRSI
The Integra SRS includes a driver's airbag. located in the steering wheel hub, In addition, all models except the
RS model for Canada have a front passenger's airbag located in the dashboard above the glove box. Information
necessarv to safely service the SRS is included in this Service Manual. ltems marked with an asterisk {') on the
contents page include, or are located near, SRS components. Servicing. disassembling or replacing these items
will require special precautions and tools, and should therefore be done by an authorized Acura dealer.
a To avoid rsndering ths SRS inoporative, which could load to po.sonal iniury 01 d€ath in th€ event ot a ssvare
lrontal collision, all SRS service work muat be performod by an authorizod Acura deal6t.
a lmploper service procodules. including incorloct romoval and installation of the SRS, could lead to personal iniu-
ry caused by unintontional activation ot the airbags.
a All SRS elsctdcal wiring harnesses ara covorod with ysllow insulation. Rolalod compon€nts 8re locatsd in tho
stse ng column, tront console, dashboard, and dashboard lower panel, and in the dashboard above the glove
box. Do not use oloctrical tost equipmoni on thosa cilcuits.
NOTE: The original radio has a coded thett protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's code number before
- disconnecting the battery.- removing the No. 32 (7.5 A) tuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- removing the radio.
Alter service, reconnect power to the radio and turn it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed' enter the cus-
tomer's 5-digit code to restore radio operation.

Pressure Control
Low assist at higher speeds:
When steering resistance is low. such as when driving at high speeds. or when driving straight ahead, the input shaft is
near or in the neutral position, so there is little or no flow to any of the power cylinder orifices, Most of the feed pressure
trom the pump is bypassed to the reservoir. Because of this, the pressure stays the same in both sides of the power cylin-
der, resulting in low or no assist.

VALVE UNIT<sEcnoN A-A>INPUT SHAFT
High assist at lower speeds:
When steering resistance is high, such as when driving at low speed, or when turning the wheel with the car stopped, the
difference in angle created between the input shaft and the valve opens the fluid passage on one side, and closes the fluid
passage on the other side, at each pair of orifices. The fluid pressure increases in the side of the power cylinder fed by the
larger fluid passage. This increased pressure pushes on the rack piston, allowing the steering wheel to be turned with light
effon. On the other side of the power cylinder, the return passage opens allowing the steering fluid to return through the
input shaft to the reservoir. The fluid passages to the power cylinder automatically change in size, increasing as the steer-
ing resistance increases. In other words, the passages become larger and power assist increases when the steering effort
would normally be high, (for example. when parking or making low speed turns). and the passages become smaller and
power assist decreases when the steering effort would normally be low, (for example, when driving at high speeds or
straight ah€ad).

Place the front wheels in the straight ahesd position and
measure the distSnce the steering wheel can be turned
without moving the front wheels.

1. Check the power steering fluid level (see page 17-
21) and pump belt tension lsee page l7-20).
2.Start the engine, allow it to idle, and turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock-to-lock sev€ral times to warm
uo the fluid.
Attach a spring scale to the steering wheel. With the
engine idling and the car on a clean, dry floor, pull
the scale as shown and read it as soon 8s the tires
begin to turn,
il. The scal6 should read no more than 33 N (3.4 kgf,
7.5 lbf). lf it reads more or less, ch€ck the gearbox
and pump.

NOTE: Perform rack guide adjustment with the wheels
in the straight ahead position.
Loosen the rack guide screw locknut with the spe-
cialtool, then loosen the rack guide screw.
Tighten the rack guide screw until it compresses the
spring and seats against the .ack guide, then loosen
it.
Retighten the rack guide screw to 3.9 N.m {0.4
kgf'm, 2.9 lbf.ft), then back it off to specified angle.
Specified R6turn Angle: 20 t 5"
Tighten the locknut while holding the rack guide
screw.

. Power assist with car parked.
Check the reservoir at regular intervals. and add fluid as

Raise the reservoir and disconnect the return hose
that goes to the oil cooler.
Connect a hose of suitable diameter to the discon-
nected return hose and put the hose end in a suit-
able container.
CAUTION: Tako caro not to 3pill tho tluid on tho
body and parts. Wipe off the spilled tluid at onqe.
Start the engine. let it run at idle. and turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock-to-lock several times. When
fluid stops running out of the hose, shut off the
engine. Discard the fluid,
Refit the return hose on the reservor.
Fill the reservoir to the uDoer level line.
Start the engine and run it at fast idle, then turn the
steering from lock-to-lock several times to bleed air
