Seat Belt Systems: Service 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:
- Airbags (frontal airbags and side airbags)
- Cable reel
- SRS unit
- Seat belt tensioners

Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it's not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the smallest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output could damage the airbag circuit or cause accidental deployment and possible injury.

Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. When making SRS repairs, use only new parts.

Except when performing electrical inspections, always disconnect both the negative cable and positive cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.

Replacement of the combination light and wiper/ washer switches and cruise control switch can be done without removing the steering wheel:
- For combination light and wiper/washer switch replacement.
- For cruise control set/resume/cancel switch replacement.

Whenever the ignition switch is ON (II), or has been turned OFF for less than three minutes, be careful not to bump the SRS unit; the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.

Whenever the airbags have been activated, replace the seat belt tensioners and the SRS unit.

The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's code number before disconnecting the battery cables.

The PCM memory must be reset after reconnecting the battery.
