PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)M1001011600056
1. Items to review when servicing SRS:
(1) Be sure to read GROUP 52B, Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS). For safe operation,
please follow the directions and heed all
warnings.
(2) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cable before doing any further
work. The SRS system is designed to retain
enough voltage to deploy the air bag even
after the battery has been disconnected.
Serious injury may result from unintended air
bag deployment if work is done on the SRS
system immediately after the battery cable is
disconnected.
(3) Warning labels must be heeded when
servicing or handling SRS components.
Warning labels can be found in the following
locations.
Front impact sensor
Hood
Sun visor
Instrument panel (passenger ’s side)
SRS-ECU
Steering wheel
Clock spring
Air bag module (Driver's or front
passenger's)
Side-airbag module (Driver's side or front
passenger's side)
Side impact sensor
Seat belt pre-tensioner
(4) Always use the designated special tools and
test equipment.(5) Store components removed from the SRS in a
clean and dry place. The air bag module
should be stored on a flat surface and placed
so that the pad surface is facing upward.
(6) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the
SRS components (SRS-ECU, air bag module
and clock spring). If there is a defect, replace
the defective part.
(7) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check
the SRS warning light operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.
(8) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing
of the air bag module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag (Refer to GROUP
52B, Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures
P.52B-254).
2. Observe the following when carrying out
operations on places where SRS components are
installed, including operations not directly related
to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts, do not allow
any impact or shock to occur to the SRS
components.
(2) If heat damage may occur during paint work,
remove the SRS-ECU, the air bag module,
clock spring, the front impact sensor, the side
impact sensor, and the seat belt pre-tensioner.

SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEMM1001011900057
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.
1. Note the following before proceeding with working on the
electrical system.
Never perform unauthorized modifications to any electrical
device or wiring. Such modifications might lead to a vehicle
malfunction, over-capacity or short-circuit that could result in
a fire in the vehicle.
Before connecting or disconnecting the negative bat-
tery cable, be sure to turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" (OFF) position and turn off the lights (If this is
not done, there is the possibility of semiconductor
parts being damaged).
After completion of the work (and the negative battery
terminals is connected), warm up the engine and allow
it to idle for approximately 10 minutes under the condi-
tions described below in order to stabilize engine con-
trol conditions, and then check to be sure that the idle
is satisfactory.
Engine coolant temperature: 85 to 95C (185 to
203
F)
Lights and all accessories: OFF
Transaxle: "N" or "P" position
Steering wheel: straight-forward position
2. When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the
negative cable terminal from the battery.
VEHICLE WASHINGM1001012000057
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to maintain the
spray nozzle at a distance of at least approximately 50 cm (20
inches) from any plastic parts and all opening parts (doors, lug-
gage compartment, etc.).

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
TCL INDICATOR LIGHT CHECKM1136000900058
1. Check that the "TCL OFF" indicator light and the TCL work
indicator light illuminate for three seconds when the ignition
switch is turned to the "ON" position.
2. Check that the "TCL OFF" indicator light illuminates and
goes off in cycles each time the TCL switch is pushed after
starting the engine.
3. Check that the "TCL OFF" indicator light and the TCL work
indicator light do not illuminate, when driving at 30km/h
(37.5 mph) for more than 2 seconds.
4. If defective, repair it. (Refer to P.13C-23, TCL diagnosis

If the air intake duct is removed from the throttle body take great care to keep fingers away
from the throttle plate. The drive motor has very high torque and is capable of random move-
ment at any time. Do not under any circumstances activate the throttle plate by hand.
When removing the throttle body from the intake manifold disconnect the wiring first. During
replacement connect the wiring last.
Do not activate the throttle body using a DC suppy to test the motor,as permanent damage to
the throttle body will result.

EMISSION CONTROL
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL17-83
Required Special Tool:
MB995061: Purge Flow Indicator
1. Disconnect the purge hose from the evaporative emission
(EVAP) purge solenoid, and connect special tool MB995061
between the EVAP purge solenoid and the purge hose.
2. Before inspection, set the vehicle in the following conditions:
Engine coolant temperature: 80 95C (176 203F)
Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF
Transaxle: P range
3. Run the engine at idle for more than four minutes.
4. Check the purge flow volume when engine is revved
suddenly several times.
Standard value: Momentarily 20 cm
3/s (2.5 SCFH) or
more.
5. If the purge flow volume is less than the standard value,
check it again with the vacuum hose disconnected from the
EVAP canister. If the purge flow volume is less than the
standard value, check the vacuum port and the vacuum
hose for clogging. Also check the EVAP purge solenoid. If
the purge flow volume is at the standard value, replace the
EVAP canister.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION PURGE SOLENOID
CHECK
M1173001700289
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (black, black with red paint
mark) from the evaporative emission (EVAP) purge
solenoid.
NOTE: When disconnecting the vacuum hose, always place
an identification mark so that it can be reconnected at its
original position.
2. Disconnect the harness connector.
3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (A) of the EVAP
purge solenoid (refer to the illustration at left).
4. As described in the chart below, check airtightness by
applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the
battery to the EVAP purge solenoid valve and without
applying voltage.
