STEERING SYSTEM HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Care must be taken when replacing parts. Incorrect replacement could affect the performance of the steering system and result in hazards when driving.
SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
This vehicle is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), which includes components such as the driver airbag and front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause unexpected SRS deployment during servicing and may lead to a serious accident. Before servicing (including installation/removal, inspection and replacement of parts), be sure to read the precautionary notice for the Supplemental Restraint System (See page SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS > AIRBAG SYSTEM (w/ VSC) > PRECAUTION).
BUS LINE REPAIR
After repairing the bus line with solder, wrap the repaired part with vinyl tape Click here.
Note
The CANL bus line and CANH bus line must be installed together.
When installing the CAN bus lines, be sure to twist them.
CAN bus lines are likely to be influenced by noise if the bus lines are not twisted together.
Leave approximately 80 mm (3.15 in.) loose in the twisted wires around the connectors.
When repairing the CAN bus lines, do not change the length of the lines. (Make sure that the length of the CANH bus line and CANL bus line are the same.)
| *1 | By-pass Wire |
Do not use by-pass wiring between the connectors.
Note
The protective effect of the twisted wire harness is lost if bypass wiring is used.
CONNECTOR HANDLING
| *1 | Tester Probe |
When inserting probes into a connector, insert them from the rear of the connector.
| *1 | Repair Wire |
Use a repair wire to check the connector if it is impossible to check resistance from the rear of the connector.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INSPECTING OR REPLACING CAN JUNCTION CONNECTOR
If the CAN junction connector is removed from the vehicle for inspection or replacement, make sure to install the CAN junction connector and all wire harnesses to their original locations with tape and the clamps.
