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).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LEXUS SC400 is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) a\
irbag.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the\
airbag system to unex-
pectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident.
Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the airbag system, it is possible the\
airbag may fail to operate
when required.
Before performing servicing (including removal or installation of parts, insp\
ection or replacement), be
sure to read the following items carefully, then follow the correct procedure described in the repair
manual.
1. Malfunction symptoms of the airbag system are difficult to confirm, so the diagnostic codes become themost important source of information when troubleshooting.
When troubleshooting the airbag system, always inspect the diagnostic co\
des before disconnecting the
battery (See page AB±25).
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
the vehicle has power tilt and power telescopic steering, 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 work 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. Never disassemble and repair the front airbag sensors, center airbag sensor a\
ssembly or steering
wheel pad in order to reuse it.
7. If the front airbag sensors, center airbag assembly or steering wheel pa\
d have been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or conn\
ector, replace them with new
ones.
8. Do not expose the front airbag sensors, center airbag sensor assembly or\
steering wheel pad directly to hot air or flames.
9. Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V minimum) for troubleshoo\
ting of the electrical circuit.
10. Information labels are attached to the periphery of the airbag components. Follow t\
he instructions
on the notices.
11. After work on the airbag system is completed, perform the airbag warning\
light check (See page AB±30 ).

CLEARING OF DIAGNOSTIC CODE
1. CLEARING OF MALFUNCTION CODE(EXCEPT CODE 41)
Remove the battery negative (±) terminal or ECU±B fuse for
10 seconds or more with the ignition switch OFF.
NOTICE: When connecting the battery after cancelling
the malfunction code, always do it with the ignition
switch in LOCK position. If the battery is connected with
the ignition switch in ACC or ON position, there are cases
when the diagnosis system does not operate normally.
HINT:
wCode 41 cannot be cleared by this method.
wThe lower the temperature, the longer the battery
negative (±) terminal must be left off.
wOther memory systems (clock, audio system) will also
be cancelled out (See page AB±2).

ground to terminal Tc.
HINT: When alternating between body ground of terminals Tc
and AB release one from body ground while applying it to the
other terminal. The time interval in between must be within
the following conditions. If it is out of the conditions, code 41
will not be cleared.
(d) After several seconds, when the airbag warning light
starts to blink in a 64 msec. cycle, cancellation is
completed.
HINT: This method clears not only code No. 41, but also other
malfunction codes all at once.
