3. Check the air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or

deformation.

4. Install the driver’s air bag module to the steering

wheel and check fit and alignment with the wheel.

5. Install the passenger’s (front) air bag module to

the instrument panel and front deck crossmember
and check fit and alignment.

WARNING

•

Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait for 60 seconds or more before starting
work. Furthermore, the disconnected battery terminal should be covered with tape to
insulate it.

•

Never attempt to disassemble or repair the side-airbag modules. If faulty, replace it.

•

Do not drop the side-airbag modules or allow contact with water, grease or oil. Replace it
if a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected.

•

The removed side-airbag module should be stored in a clean, dry place with the deploy-
ment surface facing up. Do not place anything on top of it.

•

Do not expose the side-airbag modules to temperatures over 93

•

After deployment of an side-airbag, the side-airbag module has been replaced with a new
one.

•

Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling side-airbag that have already deployed.

•

An undeployed side-airbag module should only be disposed of in accordance with the
procedures (Refer to

P.52B-289

Pre-removal Operation
• Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.
• Disconnect the negative (−) battery terminal.

CAUTION

• Never use an electric tester to diagnose the

side-airbag module circuit. Never attempt to
disassemble the side-airbag module.

• Store the removed side-airbag in a clean and

dry place.

• When discarding the side-airbag module, dis-

card after deploying the side-airbag as speci-
fied in the service procedure (Refer to

P.52B-

289

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

>>A<< PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
1. Before the installation, check the side-airbag

module (Refer to

P.52B-278

NOTE: Even when installing a new side-airbag
module assembly, perform an inspection before
the installation.

2. Connect the negative (

−) battery terminal.

CAUTION

Be sure to turn the ignition key to the LOCK
(OFF) position when connecting or disconnect-
ing M.U.T.-III.
3. Connect M.U.T.-III to the diagnosis connector (16

pin).

4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
5. Read the diagnosis code, and check that

everything is normal except the air bag module
open circuit.

6. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF)

position.

CAUTION

• Never measure the side-airbag module

(squib) circuit resistance even with the speci-
fied tester. Measuring the circuit resistance
with a tester causes accidental side-airbag
deployment due to current that flows or static,
resulting in serious personal injury.

• When replacing the parts, discard the old

parts after deploying the side-airbag accord-
ing to the specified procedure (Refer to

P.52B-289

1. Dent or deformation to side-airbag module

2. Check the harness and connector for damage

and the terminal for deformation.
