Air Bag Control Module: Service Precautions
Take extra care when painting or doing body work in the area below the dashboard. Avoid direct exposure of the SRS unit or wiring to heat guns,
welding, or spraying equipment.
Disconnect the airbag or side airbag connector(s) before disconnecting SRS harness connectors.
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, replace the SRS unit. After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the side
impact sensor on the side where the side airbag deployed and SRS unit. After a collision in which the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy, inspect
for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit and the side impact sensor. If there is any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the side impact
sensor.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit or the side impact sensor.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes before beginning installation or replacement of the
SRS unit, and disconnect the connectors from the SRS unit.
Be sure the SRS unit and side impact sensor are installed securely.
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit and side impact sensor, and keep them away from dust.
Store the SRS unit and side impact sensor in a cool (less than 40 °C / 104 °F) and dry (less than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit and side impact sensor whenever the ignition switch is ON (II) or within the first three minutes after the
ignition switch is turned OFF.
During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the SRS unit and side impact sensor. The
airbags and side airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
