tive (-) terminal cable which is grounded to the
vehicle body.
(c) To prevent damage to the battery terminal,
loosen the cable nut and raise the cable straight
up without twisting or prying it.
(d) Clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a
clean shop rag. Do not scrape them with a file or
other abrasive objects.
(e) Install the cable ends to the battery terminals
with the nut loose, and tighten the nut after
installation. Do not use a hammer to tap the cable
ends onto the terminals.
(f) Be sure the cover for the positive (+) terminal is
properly in place.
4. Check hose and wiring connectors to make sure that
they are secure and correct.
5. Non - reusable parts

11. Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting
the vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at
the proper locations (See page IN - 30).
(a) If the vehicle is to be jacked up only at the front
or rear end. be sure to block the wheels at the
opposite end in order to ensure safety.
(b) After the vehicle is jacked up. be sure to support
it on stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any
work on a vehicle raised on a jack alone. even for
a small job that can be finished quickly.
12. Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to
the following parts:
(a) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU. ECM.
PCM or TCM unless absolutely necessary. (If the
IC terminals are touched. the IC may be destr-
oyed by static electricity.)

(b) To disconnect vacuum hoses. pull on the end. not
the middle of the hose.
(c) To pull apart electrical connectors. pull on the
connector itself. not the wires.
(d) Be careful not to drop electrical components.
such as sensors or relays. If they are'dropped on
'a hard floor. they should be replaced and not
reused.
(e) When steam cleaning an engine. protect the dis-
tributor. air filter. and VCV from water.
(f) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install
temperature switches or temperature sensors.
(g) When checking continuity at the wire connector.
insert the tester probe carefully to prevent termi-
nals from bending.
(h) When using a vacuum gauge. never force the
hose onto a connector that is too large. Use a
step-down adapter instead. Once the hose has
been stretched. it may leak.
13. Tag hoses before disconnecting them:
(a) When disconnecting vacuum hoses. use tags to
identify how they should be reconnected.
(b) After completing a job. double check that the
vacuum hoses are properly connected. A label
under the hood shows the proper layout.
14. Unless otherwise stated. all resistance is measured at
an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F). Because the
resistance may be outside specifications if measured
at high temperatures immediately after the vehicle
has been running. measurements should be made
when the engine has cooled down.

INTRODUCTION - PRECAUTION
PRECAUTION
INOIA.-01
FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAG
The 1996 TOYOTA TACOMA is equipped with an SRS
(Supplemental Restraint System), such as the driver
airbag.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct
sequence could cause the supplemental restraint
system to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, pos-
sibly leading to a serious accident.
Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supple-
mental restraint system, it is possible the SRS may fail
to operate when required. Before servicing (including
removal or installation of parts, inspection or replace-
ment), be sure to read the following items carefully,
then follow the correct procedure described in this
manual.

1.
2.
Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental restraint
system are difficult to confirm, so the diagnostic trou-
ble codes become the most important source of infor-
mation when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting
the supplemental restraint system, always inspect the
diagnostic trouble codes before disconnecting the
battery (See page RS - 2).
Work must be started after 90 seconds from the
time the ignition switch is turned to the -LOCK-
position and the negative (-) terminal cable is dis-
connected 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 disconnected
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 audio
memory system. When work is finished, reset the
audio systems as before and adjust the clock.
This vehicle has power tilt and power telescopic steer-
ing, power seat, power outside rear view mirror and
power shoulder belt anchorage, which are all equi-
pped with memory function, it is not possible to make
a record of the memory contents.
•

So when the work is finished, therefore it will be
necessary to explain this fact to the customer, and ask
the customer to adjust the features and reset the
memory.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory system.
never use a back- up power supply from outside the
vehicle.
3. Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does
not deploy, the steering wheel pad should be in-
spected (See page RS - 8).
4. Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When
replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
5. Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are
likely to be applied to the sensor during repairs.
6. Never disassemble and repair the airbag sensor as-
sembly, steering wheel pad in order to reuse it.
7. If the airbag sensor assembly, steering wheel pad
have been dropped, or if there are cracks. dents or
other defects in the case, bracket or connector, re-
place them with new ones.
8. Do not expose the airbag sensor assembly, steering
wheel pad directly to hot air or flames.
9. Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kQ/V
minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical circuit.
10. Information labels are attached to the periphery of the
SRS components. Follow the instructions on the
notices.
11. After work on the supplemental restraint system is
completed, check the SRS warning light (See page RS
-26).

6.
When removing the steering wheel pad or handling
a new steering wheel pad, it should be placed with
the pad top sUJ:face facing up.
In this case, the twin -lock type connector lock lever
should be in the locked state and care should be taken
to place it so the connector will not be damaged. In
addition do not store a steering wheel pad on top of
another one. Storing the pad with its metallic surface
up may lead to a serious accident if the airbag inflates
for some reason.
Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib.
(This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very
dangerous.)
Grease should not be applied to the steering wheel
pad and the pad should not be cleaned with deter-
gents of any kind.
Store the steering wheel pad where the ambient tem-
perature remains below 93° C (200° F), without high
humidity and away from electrical noise.
When using electric welding. first disconnect the
airbag connector (yellow color and 2 pins) under the
steering column near the combination switch connec-
tor before starting work.
When disposing of a vehicle or the steering wheel
pad alone, the airbag be deployed using an
SST before disposal (See page RS-11).
Carry out the operation in a safe place away from
electrical noise.
