Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions

CAUTION

When servicing a vehicle, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the ground cable from battery, and wait for more than 20 seconds before
starting work.

The airbag system is fitted with a backup power source. If the airbag system is serviced within 20 seconds after the ground cable is disconnected, it may
inflate.
If the airbag warning light illuminates, repair the vehicle immediately. Airbag or pretensioner may inflate incorrectly, or not inflate in collision.
If sensors, airbag module, airbag control module, pretensioner, and harness are deformed or damaged, replace them with new genuine parts.

Do not use the airbag system and pretensioners on other vehicles. When replacing parts, be sure to replace them with new parts.

Do not check continuity of either of the airbag modules for driver, passenger or side, or pretensioner.

When checking the system, be sure to use a digital circuit tester. Use of an analog circuit tester may cause the airbag to activate erroneously.
