Accord Coupe L4-2.2L SOHC VTEC (1995)
Air Bag: Service Precautions
General Precautions
-
Take extra care when painting or doing body work in the area below the dashboard. Avoid direct exposure of the SRS unit or wiring to heat guns,
welding, or spraying equipment.
-
Store the SRS unit in a cool (less than about 104°F140°C) and dry (less than 80% humidity, no moisture) place. Do not spill water or oil on the
SRS unit, and keep it away from dust.
-
Connect the short connectors before working below the dashboard near the SRS unit.
-
After any degree of frontal body damage, or after a collision without airbag deployment, inspect the SRS unit for physical damage. If it is dented,
cracked, or deformed, replace it.
-
Be sure the SRS unit is installed securely.
-
Do not disassemble the SRS unit.
-
During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the SRS unit. The airbags could
accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
-
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, replace the SRS unit, and inspect the following:
1. Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, don't repair, any damaged harnesses.
2. Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. If there is any damage, replace the cable reel.
3. After the car is completely repaired, turn the ignition switch on. If the SRS indicator light comes on for about six seconds and then goes off,
the SRS system is OK. If the indicator light does not function properly, go to SRS Troubleshooting.
-
Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.
NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer protective covering.
-
Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched or interfering with other car parts.
