SPECIAL TOOL(S)
WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
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.
-
The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could
result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
NOTE:
-
If a seat equipped with a seat mounted side air bag and/or a safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) system is being serviced, the air bag system must
be deactivated.
-
Restraint system diagnostic tools MUST be installed under the seats in the seat air bag (if equipped) and safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) to
floor connectors.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic
procedure again.
1. NOTE: The seat position sensor is mounted at the LH rear of the seat track.
