AIRBAG SYSTEM

General Description

B: CAUTION

• When servicing a vehicle, be sure to turn the ig-
nition switch to OFF, disconnect the ground cable
from battery, and wait for more than 20 seconds
before starting work.
• The airbag system is fitted with a backup power
source. If the airbag system is serviced within 20
seconds after the ground cable is disconnected, it
may inflate.
• If the airbag warning light illuminates, repair the
vehicle immediately. Airbag or pretensioner may in-
flate incorrectly, or not inflate in collision.
• If sensors, airbag module, airbag control module,
pretensioner and harness are deformed or dam-
aged, replace them with new parts.

• When checking the airbag system, be sure to
use a digital circuit tester. Use of an analog circuit
tester may cause the airbag to activate erroneous-
ly.

• When checking, use a test harness (1). Since
damage to the connector terminal may cause the
airbag to activate erroneously, do not directly apply
the tester probe to any connector terminal of the
airbag.

• Do not check continuity of the airbag modules for
driver’s side, passenger’s side and curtain, or pre-
tensioner.

AIRBAG SYSTEM

General Description

• Do not drop the airbag module, subject them to
high temperature over 93

°C (199°F), or let water,

oil or grease get on them; the internal parts may be
damaged and reliability greatly lowered.

• If any damage, opening or rust is found on the
airbag system wire harness, do not attempt to re-
pair using soldering equipment. Replace the faulty
harness with a new genuine part.

• Install the wire harness securely with the speci-
fied clips to avoid interference or tangled up with
other parts.

• Do not allow water or oil to come in contact with
the connector terminals. Also do not touch the con-
nector terminals.

• Either of the airbag modules for driver’s, passen-
ger’s, side or curtain, or pretensioner must not be
disassembled.

• The removed front seat with an airbag module
must be kept at least 200 mm (8 in) away from walls
and other objects.

• Do not use the airbag parts or pretensioner parts
of other vehicles. Always replace the defective
parts with new parts.
• Never reuse deployed airbag and pretensioner.
• When painting or performing sheet metal work
on the front part of the vehicle, including the front
wheel apron, front fender and front side frame, re-
move the front sub sensors and wire harness of air-
bag system.
• Do not discard a undeployed airbag module or
pretensioner.
