SRS HARNESS

• Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring. Never install electronic equipment such as; a mobile telephone, two way radio or in car entertainment system in such a way that it interferes electrically with the airbag harness.

NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer protective covering.

• Always ensure SRS harnesses are routed correctly. Be careful to avoid trapping or pinching the SRS harness. Look out for possible points of chafing.
• Make sure all SRS earth locations are clean and earths are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-metal contact. Poor earthing can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to diagnose.

• Ensure all airbag harness connectors are mated correctly and securely fastened. Do not leave the connectors hanging loose.
