Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 65
°
C (150
°
F).
2. Air bag assembly, and SDM should not be used if they
have been dropped from a height of 100 centimeters
(3.28 feet).
3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the
arrow on the sensor pointing toward the front of the
vehicle. It is very important for the SDM to be located
flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle
datum line. It is important that the SDM mounting
surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components
are connected or a diagnostic chart requests it, as this
will set a diagnostic trouble code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to the
correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect
parts replacement.
Air Bag Assembly Handling /
Shipping / Scrapping
Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The rapid gas
generation produced during deployment of the air bag
could cause the air bag assembly, or an object in front of
the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the
unlikely event of an accidental deployment.
