Accord Coupe L4-2.2L SOHC VTEC (1995)
Air Bag: Service and Repair
Airbag Assembly Replacement
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, the airbag assemblies and the SRS unit must be replaced.
Store a removed airbag assembly with the pad surface up. If the airbag is improperly stored face down, accidental deployment could propel the unit with
enough force to cause serious injury.
CAUTION:
-
Do not install used SRS parts from another car. When repairing, use only new SRS parts.
-
Carefully inspect the airbag assembly before you install it. Do not install an airbag assembly that shows signs of being dropped or
improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
-
Always keep the short connectors (RED) on the airbags when the harness is disconnected.
-
Do not disassemble or tamper with the airbag assembly.
NOTE: The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's code number before disconnecting the battery cables.
Removal
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable, then disconnect the positive cable.
2. Connect the short connectors (RED) to the airbag side of the connectors:
Driver's Side:
-
Remove the access panel from the steering wheel, then remove the short connector (RED) from the panel.
-
Disconnect the 3-P connector between the driver's airbag and cable reel, then connect the short connector (RED) to the airbag side of the
connector.
-
Remove the two Torx bolts using a Torx T30 bit, then remove the driver's airbag assembly.
