GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-3
Servicing and handling
WARNING:
Many of service procedures require disconnection of
“AIR BAG” fuse and all air bag (inflator) module(s) from
initiator circuit to avoid an accidental deployment.
Driver and Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Modules
 For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator)
module, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
 When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make
sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. In
case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then
deploy with minimal chance of injury. Never carry the
air bag (inflator) module by the wires or connector on
the underside of the module. When placing a live air
bag (inflator) module on a bench or other surface,
always face the bag up, away from the surface. As the
live passenger air bag (inflator) module must be placed
with its bag (trim cover) facing up, place it on the work-
bench with a slit or use the workbench vise to hold it
securely at its lower mounting bracket. This is neces-
sary so that a free space is provided to allow the air
bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental
deployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
 Never dispose of live (undeployed) air bag (inflator)
modules (driver and passenger). If disposal is neces-
sary, be sure to deploy them according to deployment
procedures described in SECTION 10B before dis-
posal.
 The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deploy-
ment is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it
off before proceeding the work.
 After an air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction. As with many service
procedures, gloves and safety glasses should be
worn.
[A] : ALWAYS CARRY AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE WITH TRIM COVER (AIR
BAG OPENING) AWAY FROM BODY.
[B] : ALWAYS PLACE AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE ON WORKBENCH WITH
TRIM COVER (AIR BAG OPENING) UP, AWAY FROM LOOSE OBJECTS.

2. Lower mounting bracket
3. Workbench vise

AIR BAG STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN 3C1-11
Checking Steering Column and Steering
Upper Shaft for Accident Damage
Check that 2 capsules are attached to steering column
bracket securely. Check clearance between capsules and
steering column bracket. Clearance should be 0 mm (0 in.)
on both sides. If found loose or clearance, replace steering
column assembly.
Take measurement “a” as shown in the figure. If it is shorter
than specified length, replace column assembly with new
one.
Steering column assembly length “a” :
490.3 ± 1.0 mm (19.30 ± 0.04 in.)
Check steering shaft for smooth rotation.
If found defective, replace as column assembly.
Check steering shaft and column for bend, cracks or defor-
mation.
If found defective, replace as column assembly.
Check steering upper shaft lower seal (1) for breakage or
deformation.
If found defective, replace.
Check steering shaft joints and shaft for any damages such
as crack, breakage, malfunction or excessive play.
If anything is found faulty, replace steering upper shaft
assembly, steering lower shaft assembly or steering column
assembly. NOTE:
Vehicles involved in accidents resulting in body damage,
where steering column has been impacted or air bag
deployed, may have a damaged or misaligned steering
column.

5A-2 BRAKES PIPE/HOSE/MASTER CYLINDER
General Description
Master Cylinder Assembly
The master cylinder has two pistons and three piston cups. Its hydraulic pressure is produced in the primary (“a”
in the figure below) and secondary (“b”) chambers. The hydraulic pressure produced in the primary chamber
(“a”) acts on the rear wheel brakes.
Also, the hydraulic pressure produced in the secondary chamber (“b”) acts on the front wheel brakes.
WARNING:
Brake master cylinder cannot be disassembled. When anything faulty is found in it, it must be
replaced as an assembly.
CAUTION:
Brake master cylinder cannot be disassembled in principle. Should primary piston have come off
from cylinder while dismounting or handling it, wash it in the same specified fluid as that in reservoir
and place it back in cylinder.
