INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT SERVICE
If the SRS components and seat belt with pre-tensioner are to be removed or replaced as a result of
maintenance, troubleshooting etc., follow the service procedures that follow.
Caution
1. SRS components and seat belt with pre-tensioner should not be subjected to heat, so remove
the SRS-ECU, driver’s air bag module, steering wheel -air bag module,front
passenger’s air bag module, clock spring, and seat belt with pre-tensioner before drying or
baking the vehicle after painting.
DFront impact sensor, SRS-ECU, Air bag module, clock spring: 93_C or more
DSeat belt with pre-tensioner: 90_C or more
Recheck SRS system operability after re-installing them.
2. If the SRS components and seat belt with pre-tensioner 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.
WARNING/CAUTION LABELS
Caution labels on the SRS are attached in the
vehicle as shown. Follow label instructions whenservicing the SRS. If the label(s) are dirty or

SRS AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (SRS-ECU)
Caution
1. Disconnect the negative ( - ) battery terminal
and wait for 60 seconds or more before
starting work. Also, the disconnected
battery terminal should be insulated with
tape. (Refer to P.52B-3.)
2. Never attempt to disassemble or repair the
