Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair

DIAGNOSIS SENSOR UNIT


Removal and Installation


WARNING:
- Before servicing, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery terminals and wait at least 3 minutes.
- Before disconnecting the air bag sensor unit harness connector, be sure to disconnect the harness connector of each air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt to prevent air bag deployment by static electricity.
- Do not use air tools or electric tools for servicing.
- When replacing the air bag diagnosis sensor unit, always check with the parts department for the latest parts information. Installing an incorrect air bag diagnosis sensor unit may or may not cause the air bag warning lamp to illuminate and may cause incorrect deployment of the supplemental air bags and seat belt pretensioner in a collision resulting in serious personal injury or death.

REMOVAL










1. Always check the air bag diagnosis sensor unit ECU discriminated number (identification number) using CONSULT-III.
2. Disconnect the negative and positive battery terminals, then wait at least 3 minutes.
3. Disconnect connector of each air bag module and seat belt pretensioner. Removal And Installation, Front Passenger Air Bag Module, Removal And Installation, With Climate Controlled Seats or W/O Climate Controlled Seats, Removal And Installation.
4. Remove the center console. Disassembly And Assembly.
5. Disconnect the diagnosis sensor unit harness connectors.
6. Remove the bolts, then remove the diagnosis sensor unit.

CAUTION:
- Never impact the air bag diagnosis sensor unit.





- Do not cause an impact to the diagnosis sensor unit by dropping etc. Replace the diagnosis sensor unit if it has been dropped or sustained an impact.

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
- Do not use old bolts after removal; replace with new bolts.
- Be careful not to damage the diagnosis sensor unit harness.
- After the work is completed, make sure no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning lamp.
- In case a malfunction is detected by the air bag warning lamp, reset by the self-diagnosis function and delete the memory by CONSULT-III.
- If a malfunction is still detected after the above operation, perform self-diagnosis to repair malfunctions. Component Tests and General Diagnostics.
- After replacing the air bag diagnosis sensor unit, confirm using CONSULT-III that the ECU discriminated number (identification number) of the new replacement air bag diagnosis sensor unit matches the ECU discriminated number (identification number) of the replaced (old) air bag diagnosis sensor unit.

NOTE:
If the ECU discriminated number of the new replacement air bag diagnosis sensor unit differs from the ECU discriminated number of the replaced air bag diagnosis sensor unit, reconfirm the parts information and verify that the correct air bag diagnosis sensor unit was installed.
