6E-2 POWER STEERING AND COLUMN
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Caution: To ensure the energy-absorbing action of
the steering column, it is important to use only the
specified screws, bolts, and nuts, tightened to the
specified torque.
In addition to the steering function, the steering column
provides safety and security.
The energy-absorbing column is designed to compress
in a front-end collision to lessen the chance of driver
injury.
The ignition switch and the lock are mounted on the
column, allowing the ignition and steering operations
to be locked to inhibit theft of the car.
The column levers trigger the turn signals, the headlight
beams, and the windshield washer and wipers.
A tilt steering column uses a spherical joint to allow
the steering wheel to tilt up and down. This enables
the driver to adjust the steering wheel to a comfortable
position.
Notice: Apply a thin coat of lithium grease to all friction
points when reassembling.
The column may be disassembled and reassembled
easily.

8A-2 SEAT BELTS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DRIVER SEAT BELT WARNING
The driver’s seat belt incorporates a seat belt warning
lamp in the instrument cluster to remind the driver if
the seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is turned
ON. The warning lamp blinks for eight seconds with
chime and goes out.
THREE-POINT FRONT SEAT BELT
WITH PRETENSIONER
The front seat belt contains an electronically controlled
pyrotechnic retractor, pretensioner, which reduces seat
belt slack when it activated in a head-on or angled
front collision. The front seat belt must be replaced
after an accident that causes its activation. At normal
condition the driver’s seat belt operates as emergency
locking retractor (ELR).
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
The ELR seat belt is always unlocked, allowing the
passenger freedom of movement, except in
emergencies such as rapid deceleration, rapid
acceleration, or hard cornering maneuvers.
THREE-POINT REAR OUTBOARD
SEAT BELT
The rear outboard seating position uses the emergency
locking retractor (ELR). Refer to Three-point front seat
belt with pretensioner in this section for details.
TWO-POINT LAP REAR CENTER
SEAT BELT
The two-point lap rear center seat belt is a single contin-
uous length of webbing. The webbing is routed from
the anchor through plate and into a single retractor.
OPERATIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL
CHECKS
Caution:
Keep sharp objects and potentially damaged ob
jects away from seat belts.
Avoid bending or damaging any portion of
buckle or the latch plate
Do not breach or dye the belt webbing. Use only
mild soap and water in order to clean the belts.
When installing the seat belt anchor bolts and
screws, start the bolts and screws by hand in or-
der to prevent cross-threading.
Do not attempt any repairs on the retractor mech-
anisms or covers. Replace any defective assem-
blies with new assemblies.
Replace any belts that are cut or damaged in any
way.
1. Inspect all seat anchor bolts and screws in order to
verify that they are secure.
2. Inspect the seat belt buckle. The buckle must lock
and unlock easily.
3. After inserting the latch into the buckle, tug sharply
on the belt. The buckle must remain locked.
4. Fully extend the shoulder belt portion to make sure
that there is no twisting or tears in the belt.
5. Let the shoulder belt retract fully. The belt should
retract easily.
CHILD SEAT TETHER ANCHOR
There are three child seat tether anchors to hold the
child seat firmly. One is located rear center of ceiling
and two are located on the rear corner of floor.

REPAIR INSTRUCTION
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SERVICE PRECAUTION
Caution: The sensing and diagnosis module (SDM)
can maintain sufficient voltage to deploy the airbags
and pretensioner for 0.15 seconds after the ignition
is OFF and the airbag fuse has been removed. If the
airbags or pretensioners are not disconnected, do
not begin service until one minute has passed after
disconnecting power to the SDM. If the airbag are
disconnected, service can begin immediately without
waiting for one-minute time period to expire. Failure
to temporarily disable the SRS during service can
result in unexpected deployment, personal injury,
and otherwise unneeded SRS repairs.
DISABLING THE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
1. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead
position.
2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK and remove the key.
3. Remove the airbag fuse F31 in the I/P fuse block
and wait more than one minute for SRS capacitor to
discharge.
ENABLING THE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Enabling the supplemental restraint system (SRS) is
reverse order of “Disabling the Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS)”.
Caution: Staying well away from the inflator
modules, turn the ignition key switch to ON, and
verify that the airbag indicator illuminates for 4.5
seconds and turns OFF. If it does not operate as
described, perform the “SRS Diagnostic System
Check” referring in this section.
HANDLING, INSTALLATION AND
DIAGNOSIS
Airbag modules should not be subjected to
temperature above 65°C (149°F)
An airbag module or sensing and diagnostic module
(SDM) should not be used if it has been dropped
from height of 0.9 meters (3 feet) or greater.
It is very important for the SDM to be installed flat
on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle’s
longitudinal axis.
To avoid setting diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs),
do not apply power to the SRS unless all components
are connected or a diagnostic chart request it.
The SRS Diagnostic System Check must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The SRS
Diagnostic System Check will verify proper airbag
indicator operation and will lead you to correct chart
to diagnose any SRS malfunctions. Bypassing
these procedures may result in extended diagnostic
time and incorrect parts replacements.
REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS
REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT
Caution: any repairs to the vehicle’s structure must
return it to the original production configuration.
Deployment requires replacement of SDM, the
inflator modules, and a dimensional inspection of
the steering column.
If any SRS components are damaged, they must
be replaced. If SRS components mounting points
are damaged, they must be repaired or replaced.
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. This does
not include remanufactured parts purchased from
an authorized source.
Do not attempt to service the SDM, the clock spring,
or other airbag modules, these items must be
replaced if they are defective.
Verify the part number of replacement airbag
modules. Some inflator modules look identical but
contain different internal components.
ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYMENT -
COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT
All SRS components must be replaced after frontal crash
involving airbag deployment. After deployment, a
powdery residue may be on the surface of the airbag.
The powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to
lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-products of the
chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to
lye soap) is produced as a by-product of the deployment
reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with
atmospheric moisture and is converted to sodium
carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (also known as
baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that sodium
hydroxide will be present after deployment. Replace
the following SRS components.
Caution: Wear gloves and safety glasses during the
disposal procedure. Refer to “Deployed Airbag
Module Disposal Procedure” in this section.

DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE
Removal and installation Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Caution: The SDM can maintain sufficient
voltage to deploy the airbags for 0.15 seconds
after the Ignition is OFF and the airbag fuse has
been removed. If the airbags are not
disconnected, service cannot begin until one
minute has passed after disconnecting power
to the SDM. If the airbags are disconnected,
service can begin immediately without waiting
for one-minute time period to expire. Failure to
temporarily disable the SRS during service
result in unexpected deployment, personal
injury, and otherwise unneeded SRS repair.
2. Disable the supplemental restraint system (SRS).
Refer to “Disabling the SRS” in this section.
3. Position the steering wheel straight ahead.
4. Remove the driver airbag module mounting bolts.
Installation Notice
Caution: When handling an airbag module,
always keeps the top of the unit facing upward.
This leaves room for the airbag to expand if the
module unexpectedly deploys. Without room
for expansion, a module suddenly propelled
toward a person or object can cause injury or
vehicle damage.
5. Remove the connector from the horn terminal and
the driver airbag module.
6. Remove the driver airbag module.
7. Installation should follow the removal procedure
in the reverse order.
