Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions
- Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. Using an analog circuit tester may cause an accidental deployment and possible injury.
- Except when performing electrical inspections, always disconnect both the negative cable and positive cable at the battery before beginning work.
- Airbag assembly can not be disassembled. Always store airbag assembly with pad facing upward on a flat surface and away from heat exceeding 212°
F.
- Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring. SRS wiring can be identified by yellow outer protective covering.
- Always use test harness. Do not use test probes directly on components connector pins or wires.
