CAUTION
| CAUTION |
| • |
When servicing
a vehicle, be sure to turn the ignition 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 inflate incorrectly, or
not inflate in collision.
|
|
| • |
If sensors, airbag module, airbag control module, pretensioner,
and harness are deformed or damaged, replace them with new genuine
parts.
|
|
| • |
When checking the airbag system, be sure to use a digital
circuit tester.
Infinitesimal electric current in an analog circuit tester may cause the airbag to activate erroneously. 
|
|
| • |
When checking, use a test harness (1). Do not directly
apply the tester probe to any connector terminal of the airbag.
Damage to the connector terminal may cause the airbag to activate
erroneously.
|
|
| • |
Do not check continuity of either of the airbag modules
for driver, passenger or side, or pretensioner.
|
|
| • |
Do not drop the airbag modulator parts, subject them
to high temperature over 93°C (199°F), or let water,
oil, or grease get on them; otherwise, 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 repair using soldering equipment.
Be sure to replace the faulty harness with a new genuine part.
|
|
| • |
Install the wire harness securely with the specified
clips to avoid interference or tangled up with other parts.
|
|
| • |
Do not allow water or oil to come in contact with the
connector terminals. Do not touch the connector terminals.
|
|
| • |
Either of the airbag modules for driver, passenger or
side, or pretensioner must not be disassembled.
|
|
| • |
The removed front seat with the airbag module must be
kept at least 200 mm (8 in) away from walls and other objects.
|
|||
| • |
Do not use the airbag or pretensioner parts from other
vehicles. Always replace defective parts with new parts.
|
|
| • |
Never reuse a deployed airbag or 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, remove the front sub sensors and wire
harness of the airbag system.
|
|
| • |
When painting or performing sheet metal work on the
side of the vehicle, including the side sill, center pillar, and
front and rear doors, remove the side airbag sensors and wire harness
of the airbag system.
|
|
| • |
When storing a removed airbag module, do not place any
objects on it or pile airbag modules on top of each other. If the
airbag inflates for some reason when it is placed with its pad side
facing downward or under any object, a serious accident may result.
