Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
CAUTION
-
When servicing a vehicle, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the ground cable from battery, and wait for 20 seconds or
more before starting work.
-
The airbag system is fitted with a backup power source. After disconnecting the battery ground cable, the airbag may deploy if you do
not wait for 20 seconds or more before starting airbag system servicing.
-
If sensors, airbag module, airbag control module, pretensioner or harness is deformed or damaged, replace with new part.
-
Do not use the airbag system and pretensioners on other vehicles. When replacing parts, be sure to replace them with new parts.
-
When checking the airbag system, be sure to use a digital circuit tester. Use of an analog circuit tester may cause the airbag to activate
erroneously due to a minimal current inside tester.
-
When checking, use a test harness (1). Damage to connector terminal causes malfunction. Do not directly put the tester probe on airbag
connector terminal.
