SRS Control Unit and Sensors

SRS Unit, Front Impact Sensors, Side Impact Sensors, Front Passenger's Weight Sensor Unit, and Front Passenger's Weight Sensors

- Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front impact sensors, or side impact sensors when the ignition switch is ON (II), or for at least 3 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.




- During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the SRS unit, front impact sensors, or side impact sensors. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.




- After a collision that caused any airbag to deploy, the SRS unit and many other components must be replace. After a collision in which the airbags, or the side airbags and/or seat belt tensioners did not deploy, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit, front impact sensors, and side impact sensors. Replace all damaged parts.
- Do not disassemble the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, driver's seat position sensor, front passenger's weight sensor unit, and front passenger's weight sensors.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait at least 3 minutes before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit or disconnecting the connectors from the SRS unit.
- Be sure the SRS unit, front impact sensors, and side impact sensors are installed securely with the mounting bolts torqued to 9.8 N-m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 lbf.ft)
- Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors, and keep them away from dust.
- Store the SRS unit, front impact sensors, and side impact sensors in a cool (less than 104 Degrees F/40 Degrees C) and dry (less than 80 % relative humidity, no moisture) area.
