Air Bag: Vehicle Damage Warnings
Welding
When welding, the negative battery lead should be disconnected and covered.
Painting
When painting, mask the weld screws in the SRS control module mounting bracket and the ground connection to ensure that the control module
remains grounded.
Electrical Work
Electrical leads in the airbag system must not be spliced. Splicing can cause malfunction in the system and can lead to personal injury or the system
becoming unserviceable. Damaged insulation on leads in the SRS system can be covered with new insulation if the copper conductor is not damaged.
SRS connectors must not be greased.
Fault Diagnosis
When carrying out fault diagnosis you must not use an instrument with its own power source like an ohmmeter, diode tester or buzzer directly on the
driver airbag, the passenger airbag, the belt tensioners or the control module. Instead, disconnect the electrical connectors from the airbags and the belt
tensioners and connect each one to its reference resistor. Fault diagnosis is described in greater detail under "Diagnostics and fault diagnosis".
Work on the Car Body
When conducting body work that involves impacts and vibration on the body, the control module connector must be disconnected.
Work on the Steering Gear
During all work when the contact roller is in place and the steering column is not connected to the steering gear, the steering wheel must be locked to
avoid altering the basic setting of the contact roller.
WARNING: If the basic setting of the contact roller is altered, the spiral shaped conductor in the contact roller is destroyed when the steering
wheel is turned to full lock, and the airbag is rendered unserviceable leading to the risk of serious injury in a collision.
