SRS Connectors

SRS CONNECTORS







a. SRS connectors are located as shown in the following illustration.




b. All connectors in the SRS, except the seat position airbag sensor connector, are colored yellow to distinguish them from other connectors. These connectors have special functions, and are specially designed for the SRS. All SRS connectors use durable gold-plated terminals, and are placed in the locations shown on the previous page to ensure high reliability.
1. Terminal twin-lock mechanism:
All connectors with a terminal twin-lock mechanism have a two-piece component consisting of a housing and a spacer. This design enables the terminal to be locked securely by two locking devices (the retainer and the lance) to prevent terminals from coming out.




2. Activation prevention mechanism:
All connectors with an activation prevention mechanism contain a short spring plate. When these connectors are disconnected, the short spring plate creates a short circuit by automatically connecting the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the squib.




3. Electrical connection check mechanism:
This mechanism electrically checks that the connectors are connected correctly and completely. The electrical connection check mechanism is designed so that the disconnection detection pin connects with the diagnosis terminals when the connector housing lock is locked.




4. Half connection prevention mechanism:
If the connector is not completely connected, the connector is disconnected due to the spring operation so that no continuity exists.







5. Connector lock mechanism:
Locking the connector lock button connects the connector securely.

DISCONNECTION OF CONNECTORS FOR STEERING PAD, FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (SQUIB SIDE), DRIVER SIDE KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, AND FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY

HINT: Tape up the screwdriver tip before use.




a. Release the lock button (yellow part) of the connector using a screwdriver (Procedure A).
b. Insert the screwdriver tip between the connector and the base, and then raise the connector (Procedure B).

CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS FOR STEERING PAD, FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (SQUIB SIDE), DRIVER SIDE KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, AND FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY

a. Connect the connector.




b. Push down securely on the lock button (yellow part) of the connector. (When locking, a click sound can be heard.)

DISCONNECTION OF CONNECTOR FOR FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY




a. Place a finger on the slider, slide the slider to release the lock, and then disconnect the connector.

CONNECTION OF CONNECTOR FOR FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY




a. Connect the connector as shown in the illustration. (When locking, make sure that the slider returns to its original position and a click sound can be heard.)

HINT: When connecting, the slider will side. Be sure not to touch the slider while connecting, as it may result in an insecure fit.

DISCONNECTION OF CONNECTORS FOR FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR, SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR AND REAR AIRBAG SENSOR




a. While holding both the sides of the outer connector locking sleeve, slide the outer in the direction shown by the arrow.




b. When the connector lock is released, the connectors are disconnected.

HINT: Be sure to hold both outer flank sides. Holding the top and bottom will make disconnection difficult.

CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS FOR FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR, SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR AND REAR AIRBAG SENSOR




a. Connect the connector as shown in the illustration (When locking, make sure that the outer returns to its original position and a click sound can be heard).

HINT: When connecting, the outer will slide. Be sure not to hold the outer while connecting, as it may result in an insecure fit.
