Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
Air Bag Disarming and Arming
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system service. Observe the instructions described, or the airbags could
accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
-
Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF, ground the SCS line with the HDS to take the PCM out of
active status, disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The SRS memory is not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or 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 removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always disconnect the SRS connector.
-
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.
-
The original radio and navigation system have a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's anti-theft codes and write down the
radio stations and XM channel presets before disconnecting the battery negative cable.
-
Before returning the vehicle to the customer, enter the radio code, the navigation code, then enter the customer's radio stations and XM channel
presets, and set the clock.
-
After reconnecting the battery negative cable, if the IMA battery level gauge (BAT) displays no segments, start the engine, and hold it between
3,500 rpm and 4,000 rpm without load (in Park or Neutral) until the BAT displays at least three segments.
