Sephia RS Sedan L4-1.6L (1997)
* NOTICE
The orange and blue connectors are exclusive to the air bag-SRS harness. The connector half with female pins consists of two separate shells; one for the
air bag-SRS, the other for the horn. These two shells are mechanically configured to provide the blue air bag-SRS shell with two retention latches,
reducing the possibility of an unwanted separation during a collision. The blue air bag-SRS shell also contains a safety feature that shunts its two pins
together when it is disconnected. This feature helps prevent unintentional air bag deployment When disconnecting the two shells, it is necessary to
remove the orange shell first Reconnection is the reverse order of disconnection.
WARNING
^ Do not disassemble any of the actual air bag-SRS components. Disassembly of components can render the system inoperative, which may
result in serious injury or death in the event of an accident. Never attempt to disassemble or repair the air bag modules.
^ Any attempt to adapt, re-use, or install an air bag module or its components in another vehicle may result in serious injury or death to the
vehicle occupants in the event of an accident.
^ Do not cut or otherwise remove the air bag module connector. The connector contains a safety shunt and disabling that shunt could cause
unplanned deployment, which may cause severe personal injury or death.
^ A live (undeployed) air bag may accidently deploy during handling. When carrying a live air bag module, point the trim cover away from
your body to lessen the chance of injury in case of accidental deployment. Never carry the module by its wiring or connectors.
^ Always place live air bag modules face up to lessen motion of the module in case of accidental deployment. Keep the area clear of parts, tools
and debris.
^ Never place items on or above the trim cover of a live air bag module. In case of accidental deployment, such items may cause serious injury
or death.
7. Depress the two side spring latches (located behind and at the bottom corners of the plastic module trim) and remove the module from the instrument
panel.
8. If necessary, dispose of air bag module. Refer to Air Bag Deployment and Disposal.
