Toyota Highlander Service Manual: Precaution

CAUTION:

NOTICE:

1. SRS CONNECTORS

HINT: SRS connectors are located as shown in the following illustration.

SRS CONNECTORS


(a) All connectors in the SRS are colored yellow to distinguish them from other connectors, except the seat position airbag sensor connector and the occupant classification ECU connector. Some connectors have special functions, and are specially designed for the SRS. These connectors use durable gold-plated terminals, and are placed in the locations shown on the previous page to ensure high reliability.

SRS CONNECTORS


  1. Terminal twin-lock mechanism: Each connector has a two-piece component consisting of a housing and a spacer. This design enables the terminal to be locked securely by two locking devices (the retainer and the lance) to prevent terminals from coming out.
  2.  Activation prevention mechanism: Each connector contains a short spring plate. When the connector is disconnected, the short spring plate automatically connects the positive (+) terminal and the negative (-) terminal of the squib.

  1. Electrical connection check mechanism: This mechanism electrically checks that the connectors are connected correctly and completely.

    The electrical connection check mechanism is designed so that the disconnection detection pin connects with the diagnosis terminals when the connector housing lock is locked.

SRS CONNECTORS


  1. Half connection prevention mechanism: If the connector is not completely connected, the connector is disconnected due to the spring operation so that no continuity exists.

(b) When the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision in the hatched area (Fig.1) and the shock is larger than the predetermined level, the SRS is activated automatically. The safing sensor is designed to go on at a smaller deceleration rate than the airbag sensor. As illustrated in Fig.2, ignition is caused when current flows to the squib, which happens when the safing sensor and the deceleration sensor go on simultaneously. When a deceleration force acts on the sensors, 2 squibs in the driver airbag and front passenger airbag ignite and generate gas. The gas discharging into the driver airbag and front passenger airbag rapidly increases the pressure inside the bags, breaking the horn button assy and instrument panel. The deployment of the bags then ends, and the bags deflate as the gas is discharged through discharge holes at the bag's rear or side.

2. DISCONNECTION OF CONNECTORS FOR HORN BUTTON ASSY AND CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSY

(a) Release the lock button (yellow part) of the connector using a screwdriver.

(b) Insert the screwdriver tip between the connector and the base, and then raise the connector.
