PRECAUTION
NOTICE:

The CAMRY is equipped with SRS, which comprises a driver airbag, front passenger airbag,
and side airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause
the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Fur-
ther, if a mistake is made in servicing the SRS, it is possible that the SRS may fail to operate
when required. Before performing servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspec-
tion or replacement), be sure to read the following items carefully, then follow the correct proce-
dures described in the repair manual.

Malfunction symptoms of the SRS are difficult to confirm, so the DTCs become the most impor-
tant source of information when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the SRS, always in-
spect the DTCs before disconnecting the battery.

Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, front
passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly (TMC made and TMMK made), airbag sensor
assembly, front airbag sensor and side airbag sensor assembly should be inspected.
(See page RS±16, RS±29, RS±41, RS±54, RS±60, RS±65 and RS±70)

Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.

Never disassemble and repair the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side
airbag assembly, airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensor or side airbag sensor assembly
in order to reuse it.

If the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, airbag sen-
sor assembly, front airbag sensor or side airbag sensor assembly has been dropped, or if there
are cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace them with new
ones.

Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V minimum) for troubleshooting the system's
electrical circuits.

Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instruc-
tions on the notices.

After work on the SRS is completed, perform the SRS warning light check (See page DI±626).

If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the
IN section.
CAUTION:

Work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº position and
the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
(The SRS is equipped with a back±up power source so that if work is started within 90 seconds
from disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may be deployed.)

When the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the memory of the clock
and audio system will be canceled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents mem-
orized in the audio memory system. When work is finished, reset the audio systems as they
were before and adjust the clock. To avoid erasing the memory in each memory system, never
use a back± up power supply from outside the vehicle.

Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during
repairs.

Do not expose the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly,
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensor or side airbag sensor assembly directly to hot air
or flames.

6. SRS WARNING LIGHT
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter. It
goes on to alert the driver of trouble in the system when a mal-
function is detected in the airbag sensor assembly self±diagno-
sis. In normal operation conditions when the ignition switch is
turned to the ACC or ON position, the light goes on for about 6
seconds and then goes off.
7. AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The airbag sensor assembly is mounted on the floor inside the
lower center finish panel. The airbag sensor assembly consists
of an airbag sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis circuit, ignition
control and drive circuit, etc. It receives signals from the airbag
sensor and judges whether the SRS must be activated or not.
8. FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
A front airbag sensor is mounted inside each of the side mem-
bers. The sensor unit is a mechanical type. When the sensor
detects deceleration force above a predetermined limit, contact
is made in the sensor, sending a signal to the airbag sensor as-
sembly. The sensor cannot be disassembled.
9. SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The side airbag sensor assembly is mounted in the LH and RH
center pillars. The side airbag sensor assembly consists of a lat-
eral deceleration sensor, safing sensor and diagnosis circuit,
etc. It receives signals to the airbag sensor assembly to judge
from the side airbag sensors whether the SRS side airbag must
be activated or not.

RS3000 TVIP PROGRAMMING CHANGES
FOR GBS
Models:
All Models
Technical Service
BULLETIN
April 23, 1999

Starting with 1999 MY, the programming in the RS3000 ECU for the Glass Breakage
Sensor (GBS) to trigger the alarm has been changed to improve the Toyota Vehicle
Intrusion Protection (TVIP) system's theft warning feature when glass breakage or impact
to the glass is detected.
Previous operation of GBS (for 1998 MY and prior):
Upon (first) detection of breakage of the vehicle's glass, the GBS will sound the
security system for 5 seconds (3 horn honks).
If there is a second detection of glass breakage, within 5 seconds of the first
detection, the security system will sound for the full duration of 59 seconds.
Improved operation of GBS (from 1999 MY):
Upon (first) detection of breakage of the vehicle's glass, the GBS will sound the
security system for 20 seconds.
If there is a second detection of glass breakage, the security system will sound for the
full duration of 59 seconds, regardless of time between the first and second
detections.
After the first detection, any subsequent detection will trigger the alarm for the full
duration of 59 seconds as long as the security system is armed. The GBS trigger
cycle will reset once the security system is disarmed and then rearmed.
This improvement is intended to enhance the previous trigger cycle of the security
system and ward off an intruder.
The color of the previous (1998 MY and prior) RS3000 ECU was black. The new
RS3000 ECU color is gray.
