PRECAUTIONS FOR VEHICLES
EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG
The LEXUS SC400 is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Re-
straint System) airbag.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence
could cause the airbag system to unexpectedly deploy during serv-
icing, possibly leading to a serious accident.
Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the airbag system, it is pos-
sible the airbag may fail to operate when required.
Before performing servicing (including removal or installation of
parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the following
items carefully, then follow the correct procedure described in this
manual.
Locations of Airbag Components
1. Malfunction symptoms of the airbag system are difficult to confirm,
so the diagnostic codes become the most important source of
information when troubleshooting.
When troubleshooting the airbag system, always inspect the diag-
nostic codes before disconnecting the battery. (See page
AB±25)
2. Work must be started after approx. 20 seconds or longer from the time the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position and
the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the
battery.
(The airbag system is equipped with a back±up power source
so that if work is started within 20 seconds of disconnecting
the negative (±) terminal cable of the battery, the airbag may be
deployed.)

When the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from
the battery, memory of the clock and audio systems will be
cancelled. So before starting work, make a record of the con-
tents memorized by each memory system. Then when work
is finished, reset the clock and audio systems as before.
When the vehicle has power tilt and power telescopic steer-
ing, power seat, power outside rear view mirror and power
shoulder belt anchorage, which are all equipped with
memory function, it is not possible to make a record of the
memory contents. So when the operation is finished, it will be
necessary to explain this fact to the customer, and ask the
customer to adjust the features and reset the memory.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory system, never
use a back±up power supply from outside the vehicle.
3. Even in cases of a minor collision where the airbag does not deploy, the front airbag sensors and the steering wheel pad
should be inspected. (See page AB±9)
4. Never use airbag parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
5. Before repairs, remove the airbag sensors if shocks are likely
to be applied to the sensors during repairs.
6. The center airbag sensor assembly contains mercury. After
performing replacement, do not destroy the old part. When
scrapping the vehicle or replacing the center airbag sensor
assembly itself, remove the center airbag sensor assembly
and dispose of it as toxic waste.
7. Never disassemble and repair the front airbag sensors, center airbag sensor assembly or steering wheel pad in order
to reuse it.
8. If the front airbag sensors, center airbag sensor assembly or steering wheel pad have been dropped, or if there are cracks,
dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector,
replace them with new ones.
9. Do not expose the front airbag sensors, center airbag sensor assembly or steering wheel pad directly to hot air or flames.
10. U s e a v o l t / o h m m e t e r w i t h h i g h i m pedance (10 kW/V
minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical circuit.
11. Information labels are attached to the periphery of the airbag components. Follow the notices.
12. After work on the airbag system is completed, perform the
airbag warning light check (See page AB±30).

2. Work must be started after approx. 20 seconds or longer from the time the ig\
nition switch is turned to the LOCK position and the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnec\
ted from the battery. (The
airbag system is equipped with a back±up power source so that if work is sta\
rted within 20 seconds
of disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable of the battery, the airbag may be deployed.)
When the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio sys-
tems will be cancelled. So before starting work, make a record of the conten\
ts memorized by the audio
memory system. Then when work is finished, reset the audio systems as before a\
nd adjust the clock. When

Replacement of Fuse
HINT: If replacing the fuse, be sure to replace it with a fuse
with an equal amperage rating.
NOTICE:
1. Turn off all electrical components and the ignition switchbefore replacing a fuse. Do not exceed the fuse amperage
rating.
2. Always use a fuse puller for removing and inserting a fuse. Remove and insert straight in and out without
twisting. Twisting could force open the terminals too
much, resulting in a bad connection.
If a fuse continues to blow, a short circuit is indicated. The
system must be checked by a qualified technician.
HINT: The puller is located at Relay Block No. 2.
How to Inspect for System Inspection
This inspection precedure is a simple troubleshooting which
should be carried out on the vehicle during system operation
and is based on the assumption of system component
trouble (except for the wires and connectors, etc.).
Always inspect the trouble taking the following items into con-
sideration.
wGround point fault
w Open or short circuit of the wire harness
w Connector or terminal connection fault
w Fuse or fusible link fault
NOTICE:
1. This is an on±vehicle inspection during system
operation. Therefore, inspect the trouble with due regard
for safety.
2. If connecting the battery directly, be careful not to short circuit, and select the applicable voltage.

PRECAUTIONS
Take care to observe the following precautions when performing inspection\
s or removal and replacement
of body electrical related parts.
1. SRS AIR±BAG SYSTEM
Work must be started approx. 20 seconds after the ignition is set to the Loc\
k position and the negative
(±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. (See page AB±2)
When disconnecting any of the connectors in the SRS AIR±BAG system, be su\
re to Lock the ignition
switch and disconnect the battery negative (±) terminal first. Since the connectors are twin \
lock type
connectors, disconnect the connectors only after releasing the first stage lock.
When connecting SRS AIR±BAG system connectors, be sure to lock them secur\
ely. (If the connectors
are not locked securely, the system may not operate when needed.)
Always store the steering wheel pad with the pad surface facing upward. (Stor\
ing the pad with its
metallic surface up may lead to a serious accident if the air bag inflates for s\
ome reason.)
When installing the spiral cable, be sure the vehicle is in the straight ahe\
ad condition and confirm that
the spiral cable is in the neutral position when it is installed. (See pag\
e BE±40)
INFORMATION LABELS (NOTICE) are attached to the periphery of the air bag componen\
ts. Follow
the NOTICE.

If the battery negative (±) terminal is disconnected, the preset driv\
ing positions stored in memory are
erased, so be sure to note the positions and reset them after the battery termi\
nal is reconnected.
3. AUDIO SYSTEM
If the battery negative (±) terminal is disconnected, the preset AM, F\
M 1 and FM 2 stations stored in
memory are erased, so be sure to note the stations and reset them after the battery terminal is
reconnected.
If the battery negative (±) terminal is disconnected, the ºANTI±\
THEFT SYSTEMº will operate when
the terminal is reconnected, but the radio, tape player and CD player will \
not operate. Be sure to input
