The SRS must be inspected by an authorized dealer
10 years
after the car manufacture date shown on the certification label
located on left front door latch post.
Maintenance Items
1.“SRS” WARNING LIGHT CHECK
When the ignition key is turned to “ON” or engine started,
the “SRS” warning light will illuminate for about 7 seconds
and then turn off.
This means that the system is functioning properly.
2. SRS COMPONENTS VISUAL CHECK
(1) Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position, discon-
nect the negative battery cable and tape the terminal.
CautionWait at least 30 seconds after disconnecting the
battery cable before doing any further work. The
SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage todeploy the air bag for a short time even after the
battery has been disconnected, so serious injury
may result from unintended air bag deployment
if
work is done on the SRS system immediately afterthe battery cable is disconnected.
(2) Remove the rear console assembly. (Refer to GROUP
52A
- Floor Console.)
(3) Use a screwdriver to push in the lock spring of the lock
lever of the SRS diagnosis unit to unlock the lock lever.
CautionA double-lock mechanism is employed for the
connector of the SRS diagnosis unit, so care must
be taken not to damage it by using excessive forceor by not disconnecting it correctly.
(4) Disconnect the red
14-pin connector from the SRS
diagnosis unit while pressing down the lock of the
connector. (Refer to
P.52B-9.)

INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT SERVICEIf the SRS components are to be removed or replaced as a result of maintenance, troubleshooting, etc.,
follow each procedure
(P.52B-56 - P.52B-68).L++(
Caution
1.SW components should not be subjected to heat over 93°C (2OO”F), so remove the front impactsensors, SRS diagnosis unit and air bag module and clock spring before drying or baking the
vehicle after painting. Recheck SRS system operability after re-installing them.
2.If the SRS components are removed for the purpose of check, sheet metal repair, painting, etc.,they should be stored in a clean, dry place until they are reinstalled.
FRONT IMPACT SENSORS
Caution1. Never repair or disassemble a front impact
sensor. If faulty, replace it.
2.Handle the front impact sensors very careful-
ly, taking care not to drop them or otherwise
subject them to impact. If a sensor is seen tobe dented, cracked, deformed or rusted,
replace it with a new one.
3.Replace sensors with new ones after the air
bag has deployed.
