Air Bag Deactivation Indicator: Service Precautions
WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could
result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
-
To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing
any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking
components near the front or side air bag sensors or RCM, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and
hood latches.
The front impact severity sensor is located under the hood latch bracket.
The first row side impact sensors (if equipped) are located under the seat, beneath the carpet.
The second row side impact sensors (if equipped) are located at or near the base of the C-pillar.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect
auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
-
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, read and follow all warnings, cautions, notes, and instructions in the supplemental restraint
system (SRS) deactivation/reactivation procedure. Refer to Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming.
