Seat Occupant Sensor: Service Precautions
SRS Unit ('99-03 Models), Front and Side Impact Sensors ('02-03 Models), Driver's Seat Position Sensor, Front Passenger's Weight Sensors
unit, and Front Passenger's Weight Sensors ('03 Model)
-
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front sensors or the side impact sensors whenever the ignition switch is ON (II), or for at least 3
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, front sensors, and the
side impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
-
After a collision in which any airbags were deployed, replace the SRS unit, seat belt tensioners, front impact sensors, and other related
components. After a collision in which side airbag was deployed, replace the side impact sensor on the deployed side and the 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, front impact sensors,
and the side impact sensors. If there is any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the side impact sensors.
-
After a collision, calibrate the front passenger's weight sensors. If the sensors cannot be calibrated, replace them.
-
Do not disassemble the SRS unit, the side impact sensors, driver's seat position sensor, front passenger's weight sensors unit, and front passenger's
weight sensors.
-
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least 3 minutes before beginning installation or replacement of the
SRS unit, or disconnecting the connectors from the SRS unit.
-
Be sure the SRS unit and side impact sensors are installed securely with the mounting bolts torqued to 9.8 N.m (1.0 kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.ft)
-
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors, and keep them away from dust.
-
Store the SRS unit and the side impact sensors in a cool (less than 104 °F/40 °C) and dry (less than 80 % relative humidity, no moisture) area.
