PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Always disconnect both battery
leads before beginning work on the SRS
system. Disconnect the negative battery
cable first. Never reverse connect the vehicle
battery and always ensure the correct polarity
when connecting test equipment.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the vehicle
battery before carrying out any electric
welding on a vehicle fitted with an SRS
system.
Installation
WARNING: Always follow the safety
guidelines and correct procedures for
working on SRS components. Persons
working on SRS systems must be fully trained and
have been issued with copies of the Safety /
Manufacturing guidelines.
In order to assure system integrity, it is essential that
the SRS system is regularly checked and maintained
so that it is ready for effective operation in the event of
a collision. Carefully inspect SRS components before
installation. Do not install a part that shows signs of
being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents,
cracks or deformation.
CAUTION: Ensure SRS components are
not contaminated with oil, grease,
detergent or water.
CAUTION: It is essential that SRS
components are fitted using the
recommended torques, and always use
new fixings when replacing SRS parts. Special
bolts are necessary for installing the airbag
module, do not use other bolts.
CAUTION: Never attempt to repair an SRS
component. Do not try to dismantle an
airbag module, there are no serviceable
parts. Once an airbag or pre-tensioner has been
deployed, it cannot be repaired or re-used.
CAUTION: Do not install used SRS
components from another vehicle. When
repairing an SRS system, only use
genuine new parts.
CAUTION: Ensure the SRS DCU and front
crash sensors (if fitted) are installed
correctly. There must not be any gap
between the component and the bracket to which
it is mounted. An incorrectly mounted unit could
cause the system to malfunction.
WARNING: When removing, testing or
installing an airbag module, do not lean
directly over it.
SRS component testing precautions
WARNING: Never use multimeters or other
general purpose test equipment to check
SRS components or connectors. System
faults should be diagnosed through the use of
recommended test equipment only.
WARNING: Never apply electrical power to
an SRS component unless instructed to do
so as part of an approved test procedure.
CAUTION: Prior to commencing any test
procedure on the vehicle, ensure that only
test equipment approved for the purpose
is being utilised and that it is in good working
order. Ensure any harness or connectors are in
good condition and any warning lamps are fully
functional.
