air bags and pre-tensioner front buckles, which may result in serious injury. Therefore, before connecting the connector, securely fix the Restraint
control module to the vehicle.
-
Because a sensor is built into the Restraint control module, once the air bags and pre-tensioner front buckles have operated (deployed) due to a
collision or other causes, the Restraint control module must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any visible external
damage or deformation. The used Restraint control module may have been damaged internally, which may cause improper operation. If the
Restraint control module is reused, the air bags and pre-tensioner front buckles may not operate (deploy) normally, which could result in a serious
accident. Always replace the Restraint control module with a new one. The Restraint control module cannot be bench-checked or self-checked.
Crash Zone Sensor Handling
-
Removing the crash zone sensor or disconnecting the crash zone sensor connector with the ignition switch at the ON position can activate the crash
zone sensor and operate (deploy) the air bags and pre-tensioner front buckles, which may cause serious injury. Before removing the crash zone
sensor or disconnecting the crash zone sensor connector, always turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, disconnect the negative battery
cable, and then wait for 1 minute or more to allow the backup power supply of the Restraint control module to deplete its stored power.
-
If the crash zone sensor is subjected to shock or the sensor is disassembled, the air bags and pre-tensioner front buckles may accidentally operate
(deploy) and cause injury, or the system may fail to operate normally and cause a serious accident Do not subject the crash zone sensor to shock or
disassemble the sensor.

Side Air Bag Sensor Handling
-
Removing the side air bag sensor or disconnecting the side air bag sensor connector with the ignition switch at the ON position can activate the
side air bag sensor and operate (deploy) the side air bag, which may cause serious injury. Before removing the side air bag sensor or disconnecting
the side air bag sensor connector, always turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, disconnect the negative battery cable, and then wait 1
minute or more to allow the backup power supply of the Restraint control module to deplete its stored power.

Pre-tensioner Front Buckle Inspection
-
Inspecting a pre-tensioner front buckle using a tester can operate (deploy) the pre-tensioner front buckle, which may cause serious injury. Do not
use a tester to inspect a pre-tensioner front buckle. Always use the on-board diagnostic function to diagnose the Pre-tensioner front buckle for
malfunctions.
