INTRODUCTION IN-8 AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY Never reuse the airbag sensor assembly involved in a collision when the SRS has deployed. The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly should be connected or disconnected with the sensor mounted on the floor. If the connectors are connected or disconnected while the airbag sensor as- sembly is not mounted to the floor, it could cause undesired ignition of the supplemental restraint sys- tem. Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is turned to the ”LOCK” posi- tion and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, even if only loosening the set bolts of the airbag sensor assembly.
WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR The SRS wire harness is integrated with the cowl wire harness assembly and floor wire harness as- sembly. The wires for the SRS wire harness are encased in a yellow corrugated tube. All the connec- tors for the system are also a standard yellow color. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected or the connector becomes broken due to an accident, etc., repair or replace it as shown on page. 2. BRAKE SYSTEM The brake system is one of the most important safety components. Always follow the directions and notes given in section BR of the repair manual for the relevant model year when handling brake sys- tem parts. NOTICE:
When repairing the brake master cylinder or TRAC system, bleed the air out of the TRAC system. 3. DRIVE TRAIN AND CHASSIS The drive train and chassis are components that can have great effects on the running performance and vibration resistance of the vehicle. After installing components in the sections listed in the table below, perform alignments to ensure correct mounting angles and dimensions. Particularly accurate repair of the body must also be done to ensure correct alignment. HINT: Correct procedures and special tools are required for alignment. Always follow the directions given in the repair manual for the relevant model during alignment and section Dl of this manual. 4.
COMPONENTS ADJACENT TO THE BODY PANELS Various types of component parts are mounted directly on or adjacently to the body panels. Strictly ob- serve the following precautions to prevent damaging these components and the body panels during handling. Before repairing the body panels, remove their components or apply protective covers over the com- ponents. Before prying components off using a screwdriver or a scraper, etc., attach protective tape to the tool tip or blade to prevent damaging the components and the body paint. Before removing components from the outer surface of the body, attach protective tape to the body to ensure no damage to painted areas. HINT:
Apply touch-up paint to any damaged paint surfaces. Before drilling or cutting sections, make sure that there are no wires, etc. on the reverse side.
