Seat Belt Tensioner: Vehicle Damage Warnings
Pre-tensioner Seat Belt Inspection
-
Inspecting a pre-tensioner seat belt using an ohmmeter can deploy the pre-tensioner seat belt, which can cause serious injury. Do not use an
ohmmeter to inspect the pre-tensioner seat belt. Always use the on-board diagnostic to diagnose the pre-tensioner seat belt for malfunctions.
Component Handling
-
Oil, grease, water, etc. on components may cause the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belt to fail to deploy in an accident, which may cause
serious injury. Do not allow oil, grease, water, etc., on components.
-
Inserting a screwdriver, etc. into the connector of an air bag module or a pre-tensioner seat belt may damage the connector and cause the air bag
module to deploy improperly, which may cause serious injury. Do not insert any foreign objects into the connector.
Component Reuse
-
Even if an air bag module or a pre-tensioner seat belt does not deploy in a collision and does not have any external signs of damage, it may have
been damaged internally, which may cause improper operation. Improper operation may cause serious injury. Always self-check the undamaged
air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt to determine whether it can be reused. (See FOREWORD.)
