Working on a car equipped with SRS
|
Disconnect the battery's negative cable and cover it before starting any welding work.
Before painting, cover the ground connections and weld bolts in the SRS control module retaining bracket with masking tape to ensure the integrity of the control module's ground connection.
Electrical wiring in the SRS system must not be spliced. Splicing can cause functional disorders in the system and lead to personal injury or system defects. Damaged insulation on wiring in the SRS system may be replaced with new insulation if the copper conductors are not damaged. Contacts and connectors in the SRS system must not be greased.
Instruments with integrated power sources such as ohmmeters, diode testers and buzzers must not be used directly on the driver's airbag, passenger airbag, seat-belt tensioners or control modules during fault diagnosis. Fault diagnosis is described in detail in the section Fault diagnosis, general
.
Disconnect the control module when work is being carried out on the body that involves impact or jolting.

Work on the steering gear
|
If any work is carried out when the contact roller is fitted and the steering column is not connected to the steering gear, the steering wheel must be locked in position so that the basic setting of the contact roller will not be altered.
Warning
|
|
If the basic setting of the contact roller is altered, the spiral conductor in the roller will break when the steering wheel is turned to full lock. The airbag will then fail to work in the event of an accident, with the consequent risk of serious injury to the driver.
