Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

DANGER:
- In order to avoid injury to yourself or others from accidental deployment of the air bag during servicing, read and carefully follow all the precautions and procedures described.

- After disconnecting the battery cable, wait 60 seconds or more before proceeding with the following work. The SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short time even after the battery has been disconnected, so serious injury may result from unintended air bag deployment if work is done on the SRS system immediately after the battery cables are disconnected.

WARNING:
- Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.
- Do not use any electrical test equipment on or near the SRS components, except those specified on.
- Never Attempt to Repair the Following Components: SRS-ECU, Clock Spring, Air Bag Module, Front impact sensor, Side Impact Sensor, Seat Belt with Pre-tensioner, Seat slide sensor, Front seat assembly. If any of these components are diagnosed as faulty, they should only be replaced, in accordance with the INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT SERVICE procedures.

- Do not attempt to repair the wiring harness connectors of the SRS. If any of the connectors are diagnosed as faulty, replace the wiring harness. If the wires are diagnosed as faulty, replace or repair the wiring harness according to the following table.
