Air Bag Control Module: Service Precautions

^ Installing a connected SAS unit is dangerous. Movement generated during installation can cause the crash sensor inside the unit to send an electrical signal to the air bag modules. This will deploy the air bags, which may result in serious injury. Therefore, before connecting the SAS unit, firmly mount the unit to the vehicle.




^ Disconnecting the SAS unit connector or removing the SAS unit with the ignition switch at ON can cause the air bags to deploy, which may seriously injure you. Before disconnecting the SAS unit connector or removing the SAS unit, perform the general procedures.

^ Once an air bag is deployed due to an accident or other causes, the SAS unit must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any external signs of damage. The used SAS unit may have been damaged internally which may cause improper operation, resulting in major injuries or even death. The used single point SAS unit cannot be bench-checked or self-checked.
