Vehicle Damage Warnings

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation either just before the harness connectors or on the complete harness, for easy identification.

Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.

For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any air bag system connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes have passed.

Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with forward mark "<-" pointing towards the front of the vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before installation and replace as required.

The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.

Handle air bag modules carefully. Always place them with the pad side facing upward.

Do not use old bolts after removing any SRS parts; replace with new bolts. Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function.

After air bag inflates, the instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
