1998 Toyota Celica Service and Repair Manual
The 1998 Toyota Celica was built in three body styles: coupe, hatchback and convertible. Each was offered with either an automatic or a manual transmission, giving six trim combinations for the year, and the engine on record across them is the 2.2L twin-cam four (5S-FE). What separates one 1998 Celica from the next is the body and the transmission rather than the engine.

Known issues on the 1998 Celica. One recall stands on the federal record for this model year, NHTSA campaign 20V033000, and it covers the driver-side frontal air bag inflator module: in the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, the inflator may rupture. Toyota's campaign reaches certain 1998-2000 RAV4, 1998-1999 RAV4 EV and Celica and 1997-1998 Supra vehicles. Owners have filed 8 complaints against the 1998 Celica, and Toyota has issued 26 technical service bulletins for the year.
Because that campaign reaches only certain vehicles rather than every 1998 Celica, the inflator is worth confirming by VIN before any work that disturbs the steering wheel or the restraint system.
