WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
NOTE:
-
After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic
procedure again.
