REMOVAL
CAUTION:
-
Never attempt to disassemble or repair the airbag module.
-
Do not drop the airbag module or allow contact with water, grease or oil. Replace it if a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected.
-
The airbag module should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad surface is facing upward. Do not place anything on top of it.
-
Do not expose the airbag module to temperature over 93°C(200°F).
-
An undeployed airbag module should only be disposed in accordance with the procedures.
-
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is
measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.
-
Whenever the SAB is deployed it should be replaced with a new one assembled with an extension wire. The squib is melt down if the SAB is
deployed making the extension wire useless.
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
2. Remove the front seat assembly.
3. Remove the seat-back cover.
4. Loosen the nuts and remove the SAB(A) module.
NOTE:
After installing the side airbag, confirm proper system operation: Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for
about six seconds and then go off.
