CAUTION: When performing service on or around SIR components or SIR wiring, follow the procedures listed below to temporarily disable the SIR
system. Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag deployment, personal injury, or otherwise unneeded SIR system repairs.
The DERM can maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for up to 2 minutes after the ignition switch is turned "OFF" or the battery is
disconnected. Many of the service procedures require disconnection of the "AIR BAG" fuse and the inflator module circuits from the deployment loops
to avoid an accidental deployment.
