General
Precautions
Please read the
following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system
service. Observe the instructions described in this manual, or the airbags
could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
| •
|
Except when performing electrical
inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the
negative cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes
before beginning work.
|
The contents in the memory are not
erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the
battery cables are disconnected from the
battery. | |
| •
|
Use the replacement parts which are
manufactured to the same standards as the original parts and
quality.
Do not install used SRS parts from another
vehicle.
Use only new parts when making SRS
repairs. |
| •
|
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you
install it.
Do not install any part that shows signs of
being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or
deformation.
|
| •
|
Before removing any of the SRS parts
(including the disconnection of the connectors), always disconnect
the SRS connector. |
Airbag
Handling And Storage
Do not disassemble the
airbags; it has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has been deployed, it
cannot be repaired or reused.
For temporary storage
of the air bag during service, please observe the following
precautions.
| •
|
Store the removed airbag with the cover
surface up. |
| •
|
Keep free from any oil, grease, detergent,
or water to prevent damage to the airbag assembly.
|
| •
|
Store the removed airbag on secure, flat
surface away from any high heat source (exceeding
60°C/140°F). |
| •
|
Never perform electrical inspections to the
airbags, such as measuring
resistance. |
| •
|
Do not position yourself in front of the
airbag assembly during removal, inspection, or
replacement. |
| •
|
Refer to the scrapping procedures for
disposal of the damaged airbag. |
| •
|
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS
unit or the side impact sensors whenever the ignition switch is ON,
wait at least three minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF
before begin work. |
| •
|
During installation or replacement, be
careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around
the SRS unit and the side impact sensor. The airbags could
accidentally deploy and cause damage or
injury. |
| •
|
After a collision in which the airbags were
deployed, replace the front airbags and the SRS unit. After a
collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the side
airbag, the front impact sensor and side impact sensor on the side
where the side airbag deployed and the SRS unit. After a collision
in which the airbags or the side air bags did not deploy, inspect
for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit and the side
impact sensors. If there is any damage, replace the SRS unit, the
front impact sensor and/or the side impact
sensors. |
| •
|
Do not disassemble the SRS unit, the front
impact sensor or the side impact
sensors |
| •
|
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the
battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes before
beginning installation or replacement of the SRS
unit. |
| •
|
Be sure the SRS unit, the front impact
sensor and side impact sensors are installed securely with the
mounting bolts. |
| •
|
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit,or
the front impact sensor or the side impact sensors and keep them
away from dust. |
| •
|
Store the SRS unit, the front impact sensor
and the side impact sensors in a cool (15 ~ 25°C/59 ~ 77°F) and dry
(les30 ~ 80% relative humidity, no moisture)
area. |
Wiring
Precautions
SRS wiring can be
identified by special yellow outer covering. (except the SRS circuits
under the front seats and the SRS circuits in the FEM of engine
room.)
Observe the
instructions described in this section.
| •
|
Never attempt to modify, splice, or repair
SRS wiring.
If there is an open or damage in SRS wiring,
replace the harness.
|
| •
|
Be sure to install the harness wires so that
they are not pinched, or interfere with other parts.
|
| •
|
Make sure all SRS ground locations are
clean, and grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-metal
contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are
difficult to diagnose. |
Precautions
For Electrical Inspections
| •
|
When using electrical test equipment, insert
the probe of the tester into the wire side of the
connector.
Do not insert the probe of the tester into
the terminal side of the connector, and do not tamper with the
connector.
|
| •
|
Use a u-shaped probe. Do not insert the
probe forcibly. |
| •
|
Use specificed service connectors for
troubleshooting.
Using improper tools could cause an error in
inspection due to poor metal
contact. |
Airbag
Connector
Connecting
Hold both connector
halves and press firmly until the projection (C) of the sleeve-side
connector clicks to lock.
