GENERAL INFORMATION
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is designed to supplement the driver's seat belt to help reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver by activating and deploying an air bag in certain frontal colisions.
The SRS consists of: left front and right front impact sensors one located, on the right and left radiator support panel; an air bag module located in the centre of the steering wheel, which contains the folded air bag and an inflator unit; the SRS diagnosis unit located in front of the shift lever, which monitors the system, and which contains a safing impact sensor; an SRS warning lamp located on the instrument panel, which indicates the operational status of the SRS, and clock
spring interconnection located within the steering column; wiring.
The SRS is designed so that the air bag will deploy when the safing sensor, plus either or both of the left front and right front impact sensors simultaneously activate while the ignition switch is "ON". That is designed to occur in frontal or near-frontal impacts of moderate to severe force.
Only authorized service personnel should do work on or around the SRS components. Those service personnel should read this manual carefully before starting any such work. Extreme care must be used when servicing the SRS. to avoid injury to the service personnel (by inadvertent deployment of the air bag) or the driver (by rendering the SRS inoperative).

SRS SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
- 1. In order to avoid injury to yourself or others from accidental deployment of the air bag during servicing, read and carefully follow all the precautions and procedures described in this manual.
- Do not use any electrical test equipment on or near SRS components, except those specified on P.52B-5. Never use an analogue ohmmeter.
- 3. Never Attempt to Repair the Following Components:
- Front Impact Sensors
- SRS Diagnosis Unit (SDU)
- Clock Spring
- Air Bag Module
If any of these components are diagnosed as faulty, they should only be replaced, in accordance with the INDIVIDUAL COM-PONENTS SERVICE procedures in this manual, starting at page 52B-32.
4. Do not attempt to repair the wiring harness connectors of the SRS. If any of the connectors are diagnosed as faulty, replace the wiring harness. If the wires are diagnosed as faulty, replace or repair the wiring harness according to the following table.

(2) The sensor cable used as a replacement part is routed along the dash wiring harness and front wiring harness.
E528B10AA
- 5. After disconnecting the battery cable, wait 60 seconds or more before proceeding with the following work. The SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short time even after the battery has been disconnected, so serious injury may result from unintended air bag deployment if work is done on the SRS system immediately after the battery cables are disconnected.
- 6. SRS components should not be subjected to heat over 93°C, so remove the front impact sensors, SRS diagnosis unit, air bag module and clock spring before drying or baking the vehicle after painting. Recheck SRS system operability after re-installing the components.
- 7. Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check the SRS warning lamp operation to make sure that the system functions properly. (Refer to P.52B-7.)
- 8. Make certain that the ignition switch is OFF when the MUT-II is connected or disconnected.
- 9. If you have any questions about the SRS, please contact your local distributor.
NOTE
SERIOUS INJURY CAN RESULT FROM UNINTENDED AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, SO USE ONLY THE RROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL.
