RELEASE METHOD OF ACTIVATION PREVENTION MECHANISM










The activation prevention mechanism is built into the connector for the squib circuit of the SRS. As explained in the troubleshooting , insert a piece of paper that is the same thickness as the male terminal between the terminal and the short spring to release it (Refer to illustrations).

CAUTION: Never release the activation prevention mechanism on the squib connector even when inspecting with the squib disconnected.

NOTE:
- Do not release the activation prevention mechanism unless specially directed by the troubleshooting procedure.
- To prevent the terminal and the short spring from being damaged, always use a piece of paper that is the same thickness as the male terminal.
