General Description
AIRBAG SYSTEM
•Do not discard the uninflated airbag or preten-
sioner.
•When airbag control module, front sub sensor,
side airbag sensor and curtain airbag sensor are
removed, do not reuse the bolts and nuts of them.
Always use new bolts and nuts for them.
•Do not drop each airbag module, airbag control
module and each sensor, or store these parts un-
der high temperature over 93°C (199°F), or let wa-
ter, oil or grease get on them; the internal parts may
be damaged or the reliability may be greatly low-
ered.
•After removal of each parts for airbag system,
keep them with the pad facing upward on a dry,
clean and flat surface without heat, light sources,
moisture and dust.
•The airbag modules for driver’s, passenger’s,
side or curtain, or the pretensioner must not be dis-
assembled.
•When performing attachment of the steering
wheel and steering roll connector, make sure to
perform adjustment of the steering roll connector.
•The removed front seat with airbag module must
be kept at least 200 mm (8 in) away from walls and
other objects.

General Description
AIRBAG SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)
•If damage, open circuit or rust is found on airbag
system wire harness, do not use a soldering equip-
ment to repair. Replace the faulty harness with a
new genuine part.
•Install the wire harness securely with the speci-
fied clips to avoid interference or tangled with other
parts.
•Do not allow water or oil to come in contact with
the connector terminals. Also do not touch the con-
nector terminals.
•Either of the airbag modules for driver’s, passen-
ger’s, side or curtain, or the pretensioner must not
be disassembled.
•The airbag module cannot be used again if de-
ployed once.
•After removal, keep the airbag module with the
pad side facing upward on a dry, clean and flat sur-
face away from heat, light sources, moisture and
dust.
•Do not check continuity of the airbag modules for
driver’s side, passenger’s side and curtain, or the
pretensioner.

Much of the peripheral grained surface must be sacrificed for repair. The degree of restoration is not really
worth the expense. (The surface, however, will become almost flush with adjacent areas. )
Recommended repair kit: PP Part Repair Kit (NRM)
Process
No.Process name Job contents
1Bumper removalRemove the bumper as required.
2Removal of partsRemove the parts built into bumper as required.
3Bumper placement
Place the bumper on a paint worktable as
required.
It is recommended to use the paint worktable
conforming to internal shape of bumper.
(1) Bumper
(2) Set bumper section
4Surface prepara-
tion
Remove dust, oil, etc. from areas to be repaired and surrounding areas, using a suitable solvent
(NRM No. 900 Precleno, white gasoline, or alcohol, etc.).
5Cutting
If the damage is a crack or a hole, cut a guide
slit of 20 to 30 mm (0.79 to 1.18 in) in length
along the crack or hole up to the bumper base
surface. Next, use a knife or grinder to carve a
V- s h a p e d g r o o ve i n t h e a r e a f o r r e p a i r.

6Sanding (I) Grind beveled surface with sand paper (#40 — #60) to smooth finish.
7Cleaning Clean the sanded surface with the same solvent as used in Procedure 4.
8Temporary welding
Grind the side just opposite the beveled area with sand paper (#40 — #60) and clean using a
solvent.

9Welding
Using a heater gun and PP welding rod, weld the beveled spot while melting both the rod and
damaged area.
(1) Welding rod
(2) Melt hatched area
(3) Section
NOTE:•Melt the sections indicated by hatched area.
•Do not melt the welding rod until it flows out, in order to provide strength.
•Always keep the heater gun 1 to 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 in) away from the welding spot.
•Leave the welded spot unattended until it cools completely.
10 Sanding (II)
Remove excess part of weld with a putty knife. If a drill or disc wheel is used instead of the knife,
operate it at a rate lower than 1,500 rpm and grind the excess part little by little. A higher rpm will
cause the PP substrate to melt from the heat.
Sand the welded spot smooth with #240 sand paper.
11 MaskingMask the black substrate section using masking tape.
Recommended masking tape: Nichiban No. 533 or equivalent
12Cleaning/degreas-
ingCompletely clean the entire coated area, using solvent similar to that used in Procedure 4.
13 Primer coating
Apply a coat of primer to the repaired surface and its surrounding areas. Mask these areas, if
necessary.
Recommended primer: Mp/ 364 PP Primer
NOTE:Be sure to apply a coat of primer using a spray gun at a pressure of 245 — 343 kPa (2.5 — 3.5
kg/cm2, 36 — 50 psi).
14 Leave unattended
Leave the repaired area unattended at 20°C (68°F) for 10 to 15 minutes until primer is half-dry.
NOTE:If dirt or dust comes in contact with the coated area, wipe it off with a cloth dampened with alcohol.
(Do not use thinner since the coated area tends to melt.)
15Primer surfacer
coating
Apply primer surfacer to the repaired area two or three times at an interval of 3 - 5 minutes.
Recommended surfacer:
•UPS 300 Flex Primer
•No. 303 UPS 300 Exclusive hardener
•NPS 725 Exclusive Reducer (thinner)
•Mixture ratio:
2 : 1 (UPS 300 : No. 303)
•Viscosity: 12 — 14 sec./20°C (68°F)
• Coating film thickness: 40 — 50 µ
16 Drying Allow the coated surface to dry for 60 minutes at 20°C (68°F) [or 30 minutes at 60°C (140°F)].
17 Sanding (III) Sand the coated surface and its surrounding areas using #400 sand paper and water.

ter garnish.
4) Remove the door garnish.
B: INSTALLATION
1) Apply primer to the door garnish surface where
