Use specified service connectors in troubleshooting. Using improper tools could cause an error in inspection due to poor metal-to-metal contact.
SRS Unit, Front Sensors and Side Impact Sensors
SRS Unit, Front Sensors and Side Impact Sensors
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front sensors, or the side impact sensors whenever the ignition switch is ON (II), or for at least 3 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the SRS unit, front sensors, and the side
impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which any airbags or seat belt tensioners were deployed, replace the SRS unit, front sensors, and other related components. After a
collision in which a side airbag was deployed, replace the side impact sensor on the deployed side and the SRS unit. After a collision in which the
airbags or the side airbags did not deploy, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit, front sensors, and the side impact sensors. If there
is any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the side impact sensors.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit or the side impact sensors.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait at least 3 minutes before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS
unit, or disconnecting the connectors from the SRS unit.
Be sure the SRS unit and side impact sensors are installed securely with the mounting bolts torqued to 9.8 N.m (1.0 kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.ft)
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors, and keep them away from dust.
Store the SRS unit and the side impact sensors in a cool (less than 104 °F / 40 °G) and dry (less than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.
