Seat Belt Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
SRS Precautions and Procedures
General Precautions
NOTE: Some systems store data in memory that is lost when the battery is disconnected. Before disconnecting the battery, refer to Battery Terminal
Disconnection and Reconnection See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Service and Repair/Procedures.
Please read the following precautions carefully before servicing the airbag system. Observe the instructions described, or the airbags could accidentally
deploy and cause damage or injuries.
-
Except when doing electrical inspections that requires battery power, always turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop
button to select the OFF mode, disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait at least 3 minutes before starting work.
NOTE: The SRS memory is not erased even if the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), or the engine start/stop button is pressed to select the OFF
mode, or if the battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
-
Use replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards and quality as the original parts. Do not install used SRS parts. Use only new
parts when making SRS repairs.
-
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it.
Do not install any part that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
-
Before disconnecting the SRS unit connectors, always disconnect the appropriate SRS parts connectors.
-
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to
the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output could cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
-
Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
Steering-Related Precautions

Misalignment of the cable reel could cause an open in the wiring, making the SRS system, remote steering wheel controls, or the horn inoperative.

Repair.
-
Installation of the steering wheel

-
Do not disassemble the cable reel.
-
Do not apply grease to the cable reel.

If the cable reel shows any signs of damage, replace it with a new one. For example, if the cable reel does not rotate smoothly, replace it.
Airbag Handling and Storage

For temporary storage of an airbag during service, observe the following precautions.
-
Store the removed airbag with the pad surface up. Never put anything on the airbag.
