General Precautions



General Precautions.

- Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation:

- Airbag assembly (driver's and front passenger's).
- Dash sensors.
- Cable reel.
- SRS unit.
- Seat belt pretensioner (driver's and front passenger's)






- Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. Using an analog circuit tester may cause an accidental deployment and possible injury.

- Do not install used SRS parts from another car. When repairing, use only new SRS parts.

- Except when performing electrical inspections, always disconnect both the negative cable and positive cable at the battery before beginning work.

- Replacement of the combination light, wiper/washer switches, and cruise control switch can be done without removing the steering wheel - see appropriate service procedure.

- The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure you get the code number before disconnecting the battery cable.
