– FOR ALL OF VEHICLES
FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG AND
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
The AVENSIS/ CORONA is equipped with an SRS (Sup-
plemental Restraint System), such as the driver airbag,
front passenger airbag, side airbags, curtain shield airbag
and seat belt pretensioners.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct se-
quence could cause the supplemental restraint system to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to
a serious accident.
Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supplemental
restraint system, it is possible the SRS may fail to operate
when required. Before servicing (including removal or
installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure
to read the following items carefully, then follow the cor-
rect procedure described in this manual.
GENERAL NOTICE
(1) Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental re-
straint system are difficult to confirm, so the diag-
nostic trouble codes become the most important
source of information when troubleshooting. When
troubleshooting the supplemental restraint system,
always inspect the diagnostic trouble codes before
disconnecting the battery (See Pub. No. RM599E,
page DI–152).
(2) 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 discon-
nected from the battery.
(The supplemental restraint system is equipped
with a back–up power source so that if work is
started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the neg-
ative (–) terminal cable from the battery, the SRS
may deploy.)
When the negative (–) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery, memory of the clock and
audio systems will be cancelled. So before starting
work, make a record of the contents memorized by
the each memory system. Then when work is fin-
ished, reset the clock and audio systems as before.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory sys-
tem, never use a back–up power supply from out-
side the vehicle.
