SRS harness and connectors  

 
 
Always observe the following precautions with regards to SRS system electrical wiring:  
 

 

 

l

Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.  

l

Never install electrical equipment such as a mobile telephone, two-way radio or in-car entertainment system in 
such a way that it could generate electrical interference in the airbag harness. Seek specialist advice when 
installing such equipment.  

   WARNING: When handling any SRS component, hold by the gas generator housing, DO NOT hold by the 

airbag. Do not wrap the thumb around the gas generator while holding. Do not drape airbag over shoulder or 
around neck. For seat buckle type pre-tensioners, hold by the piston tube, with the open end of the piston tube 
pointing towards the ground and the buckle facing away from your body. Do not cover the end of the piston 
tube. DO NOT hold buckle type pre-tensioners by the bracket assembly or cable. Never point the piston tube 
towards your body or other people.

   WARNING: Airbag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners are classed as explosive devices. For overnight 

and longer term storage, they must be stored in a secure steel cabinet which has been approved as suitable for 
the purpose and has been registered with the local authority.

   WARNING: Store airbag modules or seat belt pre-tensioners in a designated storage area. If there is no 

designated storage area available, store in the locked luggage compartment of the vehicle and inform the 
workshop supervisor.

   CAUTION: Improper handling or storage can internally damage the airbag module making it inoperative. 

If you suspect the airbag module has been damaged, install a new module and refer to the deployment/disposal 
procedures for disposal of the damaged module.
