Repair Procedures

REMOVAL


CAUTION:
- Never attempt to disassemble or repair the airbag module.
- Do not drop the airbag module or allow contact with water, grease or oil. Replace it if a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected.
- The airbag module should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad surface is facing upward. Do not place anything on top of it.
- Do not expose the airbag module to temperature over 93°C(200°F).
- An undeployed airbag module should only be disposed in accordance with the procedures.
- Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.
- Whenever the PAB is deployed it should be replaced with a new one assembled with an extension wire. The squib is melt down if the PAB is deployed making the extension wire useless.
