Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions
Service and Repair Precautions
(SRS) Service Precautions
+
Do not use a circuit tester to check SRS circuits unless instructed to.
+
Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch "OFF", disconnect both battery cables and wait for at least 3 minutes.
+
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors
or wires until at least 3 minutes have passed.
+
Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with arrow marks "<-" pointing towards the front of the vehicle for proper operation. Also check
diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before installation and replace as required.
+
The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to turn steering wheel or column after
removal of steering gear.
+
Handle air bag module carefully. Always place it with the pad side facing upward.
+
Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
+
After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
Airbag / Pretensioner Service-Deployment

Before disposing of air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, or vehicles equipped with such systems, deploy the systems. If such systems have
already been deployed due to an accident, dispose of as indicated in "SERVICE AND REPAIR/AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND DISPOSAL".
+
When deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, always use the Special Service Tool; Deployment tool KV99106400 (Kent-Moore

When deploying air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, a fairly loud noise is made, followed by smoke being released. The smoke is not
poisonous, however, be careful not to inhale smoke since it irritates the throat and can cause choking.
+
Always activate one air bag module at a time.
+
Due to heat, leave air bag module unattended for more than 30 minutes after deployment. Also leave seat belt pre-tensioner unattended for move
than 10 minutes after deployment.

mounted in vehicle.
+
Use a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged.
+
Do not dispose of the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner un-deployed.

+
Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.
+
Never oil tongue and buckle.
