disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
+After replacing or reinstalling seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting seat belt pre-ten-
sioner connector, check the system function. Refer to ``SRS Operation Check'' (RS-30) for details.
+Do not disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.
+Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.
+Never oil tongue and buckle.
+If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair. Replace the whole seat belt
assembly.
+If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.
+When replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine seat belt assembly.
+After any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached hard-
wares (i.e., guide rail set).

Precautions for SRS ``AIR BAG'' and ``Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner'' Service
+Do not use a circuit tester to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
+Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch ``OFF'', disconnect both battery cables and wait for at least
3 minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.
+Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks ``
S'' pointing towards the front of
the vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required.
+The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
+Handle air bag module carefully. Always place it with the pad side facing upward.
+Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
+Instrument panel assembly should be replaced after air bag in¯ates if damaged.

(5) Seat belt pre-tensioner
+Check harness cover and connectors for damage, terminals for
deformities, and harness for binding.
+Check belts for damage and anchors for loose mounting.
+Check retractor for smooth operation.
+Perform self-diagnosis for seat belt pre-tensioner using
bulb or CONSULT. Refer to ``SRS Operation Check'' for details.

+Check diagnosis sensor unit to ensure they are free of deformities, dents, cracks or rust. If they
show any visible signs of damage, replace them with new ones.
+Check diagnosis sensor unit brackets to ensure they are free of deformities or rust.
+Replace diagnosis sensor unit and seat belt pre-tensioner if they have been dropped or sustained
an impact.
+After replacement of diagnosis sensor unit and seat belt pre-tensioner, check SRS function and
perform self-diagnosis for SRS. Refer to ``SRS Operation Check'' for details (RS-30).
+Do not attempt to disassemble diagnosis sensor unit and seat belt pre-tensioner.
+Do not expose seat belt pre-tensioner to temperatures exceeding 80ÉC (176ÉF).
REMOVAL OF DIAGNOSIS SENSOR UNIT
1. Disconnect driver and passenger air bag module connectors.
Also, disconnect seat belt pre-tensioner connector.
2. Remove console ®nisher, console box assembly and instru-
ment panel stay cover. Refer to ``INSTRUMENT PANEL'' in BT
section.
3. Remove rear heater duct and foot duct. (If equipped with rear
heater duct and foot duct.)

HOW TO CHANGE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
With CONSULT
From User mode to Diagnosis mode
After selecting AIR BAG on the ``SELECT SYSTEM'' screen, User mode automatically changes to Diagnosis
mode.
From Diagnosis mode to User mode
To return to User mode from diagnosis mode, touch ``BACK'' key of CONSULT until ``SELECT SYSTEM''
appears. Diagnosis mode automatically changes to User mode.
Without CONSULT
From User mode to Diagnosis mode
Diagnosis mode activates only when a malfunction is detected, by
pressing the driver's door switch at least 5 times within 7 seconds
after turning the ignition ``ON''. SRS will not enter Diagnosis mode
if no malfunction is detected.
From Diagnosis mode to User mode
After a malfunction is repaired, switch the ignition ``OFF'' for at least 1 second, then back ``ON''. Diagnosis
mode returns to User mode. If switching from Diagnosis mode to User mode is required while malfunction is
being detected, switch the ignition ``OFF'', then back ``ON'' and press the driver's door switch at least 5 times
within 7 seconds.

HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
With CONSULT
+``SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]''
A current Self-diagnosis result is displayed on the CONSULT screen in real time. After the malfunction is
repaired completely, no malfunction is detected on ``SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]''.
+``SELF-DIAG [PAST]''
Return to the ``SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]'' CONSULT screen by
pushing ``BACK'' key of CONSULT and select ``SELF-DIAG
[CURRENT]'' in ``SELECT DIAG MODE''. Touch ``ERASE'' in
``SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]'' mode.
NOTE:
If the memory of the malfunction in ``SELF-DIAG [PAST]'' is not
erased, the User mode shows the system malfunction by the
operation of the warning lamp even if the malfunction is
repaired completely.
+``TROUBLE DIAG RECORD''
The memory of ``TROUBLE DIAG RECORD'' cannot be erased.
Without CONSULT
After a malfunction is repaired, return to User mode from Diagnosis mode by switching the ignition ``OFF'' for
at least 1 second, then back ``ON''. At that time, the problem code is cleared.
How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick
and Accurate Repair
