Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions
SRS SYSTEM COMPONENTS INFORMATION
CUSTOMER CAUTIONS
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the airbag system to be deployed unexpectedly during servicing, and a serious
accident to occur. Further, if there is a mistake in servicing the airbag system, it is possible the airbag may fail to operate when required. Before
performing service (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the following items carefully, then follow the
correct procedures.
1. Work must be started approx. 30 seconds or longer after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position and the negative (-) battery cable is
disconnected. (The airbag system is equipped with a back-up power source. If work is started within 30 seconds after disconnecting the negative
(-) terminal cable of the battery, the airbag may be operative.) When the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the clock and
audio systems memories will be erased. Before starting work, record the setting of the audio memory system. When work is finished, reset the
audio system as before and adjust the clock.
2. Malfunction symptoms of the airbag system are difficult to confirm, so diagnostic codes become the most important source of information when
troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the airbag system, always read the diagnostic codes before disconnecting the battery.
3. Never use airbag parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
4. Never attempt to disassemble and repair the airbag modules, SRSCM, clock spring and airbag wiring harness in order to reuse it.
5. If the SRSCM or airbag module has been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace them with
new ones.
6. After work on the airbag system is completed, re-set the SRS SRI.
