Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

The Supplemental Restraint System such as "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER", used along with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM and SEAT BELTS articles.

Scheme 1

1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface. Remove liquid gasket completely from the liquid gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to the Tool. Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to " «RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS»(ref-337611-S41912038972009080600000) " . Tool number: WS39930000 (-) Within 5 minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating component. If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately. Do not retighten bolts or nuts after the installation. Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling engine oil and engine coolant.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Note. Before starting engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.

Scheme 8

1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within the range (A) as shown.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.

ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE

1. Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
2. If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant. Repair or replace damaged parts.

ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE

Check for engine oil leakage around the following areas

1. Oil pan (upper and lower)
2. Oil pan drain plug
3. Oil pressure switch
4. Oil filter
5. Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
6. Front cover
7. Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
8. Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
9. Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
10. Oil filter (for intake valve timing control)

OIL PRESSURE CHECK

Scheme 9

Scheme 10

1. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch (1), and remove oil pressure switch using a suitable tool. Oil pan (lower) (2) <= Front
2. Install oil pressure gauge and hose. Tool number: ST25051001 (J-25695-1) : ST25052000 (J-25695-2)
3. Check engine oil level. Refer to " «ENGINE OIL LEVEL»(ref-337626-S33041138912009080600000) ".
4. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load. NOTE: When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high. Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80°C (176°F)] ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SPECIFICATION Engine speed RPM Approximate discharge pressure kPa (bar, kg/cm 2 , psi) Idle speed More than 60 (0.60, 0.61, 9) 2,000 More than 200 (2.0, 2.0, 29) If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil leaks.
6. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows

1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and engine.
2. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to specification. Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to " «RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS»(ref-337611-S41912038972009080600000) " . Oil pressure switch: 14.7 N.m (1.5 kg-m, 11 ft-lb)
3. Check engine oil level. Refer to " «ENGINE OIL LEVEL»(ref-337626-S33041138912009080600000) ".
4. After warming up engine, make sure there are no engine leaks of oil with running engine.

Changing Engine Oil

Scheme 11

1. Warm up engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer to " «ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE»(ref-337626-S12307236012009080600000) ".
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Loosen oil filler cap (1) and then remove drain plug (2). Oil filter (3) <= Engine front

CAUTION: The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifications for reference only. Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper amount of engine oil in the engine.
7. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug (2) and oil filter (3) for engine oil leakage.
8. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
