DIAGNOSIS SENSOR UNIT

Removal and Installation


WARNING:
- Before servicing, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect battery negative terminal and wait 3 minutes or more.
- Before disconnecting the air bag sensor unit harness connector, be sure to disconnect the each harness connector of the air bag module and the pre-tensioner seat belt to prevent air bag deployment by static electricity and the pre-tensioner seat belt operation.
- Never use the air tools or the electric tools for servicing.
- When replacing the air bag diagnosis sensor unit, always check with the parts department for the latest parts information. Installing an incorrect air bag diagnosis sensor unit may or may not cause the air bag warning lamp to illuminate and may cause incorrect deployment of the supplemental air bags and seat belt pre-tensioners in a collision resulting in serious personal injury or death.

REMOVAL

1.Always check the air bag diagnosis sensor unit ECU discriminated number (identification number) using
CONSULT.
2.Disconnect the each connector of all air bag modules, pre-tensioner seat belts and pop-up roll bar assemblies.
3.Remove the center console assembly and center console rear bracket.
- A/T models: Refer to "A/T MODELS : Removal and Installation" Removal and Installation.
- M/T models: Refer to "M/T MODELS : Removal and Installation" Removal and Installation.
4.Disconnect the diagnosis sensor unit harness connector.
5.Remove the TORX bolts, ground bolt, and then remove the diagnosis sensor unit.

CAUTION:





- Never impact the diagnosis sensor unit.
- Replace the diagnosis sensor unit if it has been dropped or sustained an impact.
- Replace the diagnosis sensor unit of deployed air bag modules, and deployed seat belt pre-tensioner.

INSTALLATION

Install air bag diagnosis sensor unit in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
- Never use the old bolts after removal, replace with the new bolts.
- Never damage the harness while installing.
- If malfunction is detected by the air bag warning lamp, after repair or replacement of the malfunctioning parts, reset the memory using self-diagnosis or CONSULT. Refer to "CONSULT Function" Scan Tool Testing and Procedures.
- After the work is completed, check that no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning lamp.
- After replacing the air bag diagnosis sensor unit, confirm using CONSULT that the ECU discriminated number (identification number) of the new replacement air bag sensor unit matches the ECU
discriminated number (identification number) of the replaced (old) air bag diagnosis sensor unit.
NOTE:
If the ECU discriminated number of the new replacement air bag diagnosis sensor unit differs from the ECU
discriminated number of the replaced air bag diagnosis sensor unit, reconfirm the parts information and verify that the correct air bag diagnosis sensor unit was installed.
