Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Customer Safety Information
WARNING:
-
If the supplemental restraint system (SRS) is being serviced, the system must be deactivated and restraint system diagnostic tools must be
installed.
The air bag restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed and the air bag modules reconnected when the system is reactivated to
avoid non-deployment in a collision, resulting in possible personal injury.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
-
The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when
handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so
could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
-
Never probe the connectors on a side air curtain module. Doing so can result in side air curtain module deployment.
-
To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the RCM backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or
replacing any front or side air bag (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near the front or
side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
The first row side impact sensors are located at or near the base of the B-pillars.
The second row side impact sensors are located at or near the base of the C-pillars.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect
auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
