Control Unit Input Test

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures in the
SRS section (24) before performing repairs or service.
I.
Remove the drivers dashboard lower cover (see section 20).

2.
3.

Disconnect the 14P connector from the control unit.

Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
If the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the connector.
If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
If all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace it.

Main Switch Test Replacement

1.

Carefully pry the switch out of the instrument panel.

2. Disconnect the 5P connector

3. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table. If there is no
continuity, replace the switch.

Set/Resume/Cancel Switch Test/Replacement

1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio, then write down the frequencies for the radios preset
buttons.
2. Disconnect the battery negative cable, then disconnect the positive cable, and wait at least three minutes.
3. Disconnect the drivers airbag and front passengers airbag connectors (see section 24).
4. Remove the dashboard lower cover and knee bolster.5. Disconnect the combination switch harness 4P
connector from the cable reel.

6. Check for continuity between the terminals of the 4P connector in each switch position according to the
table.

if there is continuity, and it matches the table, go to step 7.

if there is no contiuity in one or both position, go to step 12.

Remove the steering column covers.

Disconnect the 16P connector between the combination switch harness and main wire harness.
Check for continuity between the terminals as shown:

If there is no continuity, replace the combination switch harness.

10. Disconnect the 24P connector between the combination switch harness and left engine compartment wire
harness.

11. Check for continuity between terminals as shown.

If there is no continuity, replace the combination switch harness

12. Remove the two screws, then remove the switch

13. Check for continuity between the terminals in switch position according to the table.

If there is continuity, and it matches the table, replace the cable reel
If there is no continuity in one or both positions, replace the switch.

14. If all tests prove OK, reconnect the cable reel and combination switch harness connectors then reinstall
the steering column covers.
15. Reconnect the drivers airbag and front passengers airbag connectors, and reinstall the access panel on
the steering wheel.
16. Reconnect the battery positive cable, then the negative cable
17. After connecting the airbag connectors, confirm proper system operation: Turn the ignition switch ON (II);
the SRS indicator light should come on for about six seconds and then go off.
18. Enter the anti-theft code for the radio, then enter the customer's radio station presets.

Actuator Test
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Disconnect the 4P connector from the actuator.

Check the output linkage for smooth movement.
Connect battery power to the No.2 terminal and ground to the No.1 terminal.
Check for a clicking sound from the magnetic clutch. The output linkage should be locked.
If the output linkage is not locked, replace the actuator assembly.

6. Check the operation of the actuator motor in each output linkage position according to the table.You
should be able to hear the motor.

Actuator and Cable Replacement

1.

Loosen the locknut, then disconnect the actuator cable from the throttle linkage.

2.

Disconnect the 4P connector from the actuator.

3.

Remove the two mounting bolts, and remove the actuator with the bracket.

4.

Remove the actuator cover, then remove the actuator cable from the actuator

5.

Remove the actuator from the bracket.

6.
Install the reverse order of removal, and adjust the free play at the throttle linkage after connecting the actuator
cable.

Actuator Cable Adjustment

1.

Check that the actuator cable moves smoothly with no binding or sticking.

2.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 min-1 (rpm) with no load (A/T) in
until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

or

position, M/T in neutral)

3.
Measure the amount of movement of the output linkage until the engine speed starts to increase. At first, the
output linkage should be located at the fully closed position. The free play should be 3.75 0.5 mm (0.15 0.02 in).
4.
If the free play is not within specs, move the cable to the point where the engine speed starts to increase, and
tighten the locknut and adjusting nut

5.

Turn the adjusting nut until it is 3.75 0.5 mm (0.15 0.02 in) away from the bracket.

6.

Pull the cable so that the adjusting nut touches bracket, and tighten the locknut.

Clutch Switch Test

1.

Disconnect the 3P connector from the clutch switch.

2.

Remove the clutch switch.

3.

Check for continuity between the terminals according to the table.

4.

If necessary, replace the switch or adjust the pedal height

Brake Switch Test

1.

Disconnect the 4P connector from the switch.

2.

Remove the brake switch.

3.

Check for continuity between the terminals according to the table.

4.

If necessary, replace the switch or adjust the pedal height.
