Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of Air
Bag System

S5JB0A8200001

WARNING

!

• If the air bag system and another vehicle

system both need repair, SUZUKI
recommends that the air bag system be
repaired first, to help avoid unintended air
bag system activation.

• Do not modify the steering wheel,

dashboard, both front seat or any other on
or around air bag system components.
Modifications can adversely affect air bag
system performance and lead to injury.

• Be sure to follow the procedures described

in this section. Failure to follow
procedures could result in possible air bag
system activation, personal injury or
unneeded air bag system repairs.

• WARNING / CAUTION labels are attached on each

part of air bag system components (SDM, air bag
(inflator) modules and seat belt pretensioners). Be
sure to follow the instructions.

• Many of service procedures require disconnection of

“A/B” fuse and air bag (inflator) module(s) (driver,
passenger, side of both sides and curtain of both
sides) from initiator circuit to avoid an accidental
deployment.

• Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all

components are connected or a diagnostic flow
requests it, as this will set a DTC.

• The “Air Bag Diagnostic System Check” must be the

starting point of any air bag diagnostics. The “Air Bag
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to the
correct flow to diagnose any air bag malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect
parts replacements.

• Never use air bag component parts from another

vehicle.

• If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 93

°C (200 °F) (for example, during a paint baking
process), remove the air bag system components
beforehand to avoid component damage or
unintended system activation.

• When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver,

passenger, side of both sides and curtain of both
sides), seat belt pretensioners (driver and passenger),
SDM, forward-sensor or side-sensor, be careful not to
drop it or apply an impact to it. If an excessive impact
was applied (e.g., SDM, forward-sensor and side-
sensor are dropped, air bag (inflator) module is
dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 ft) or more, seat
belt pretensioner (retractor assembly) is dropped from
a height of 30 cm (1 ft) or more), never attempt
disassembly or repair but replace it with a new one.

• When using electric welding, be sure to disconnect air

bag (inflator) module connectors (driver, passenger,
side of both sides and curtain of both sides) and seat
belt pretensioner connectors (driver and passenger)
respectively.

• When applying paint around the air bag system

related parts, use care so that the harness or
connector will not be exposed to the paint mist.

• Never expose air bag system component parts

directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after
painting) or flames.

WARNING

!

When performing service on or around air
bag system components or air bag wiring,
follow the procedures listed in “Disabling Air
Bag System” to temporarily disable the air
bag system.
Failure to follow procedures could result in
possible air bag system activation, personal
injury or unneeded air bag system repairs.

Precautions on Handling and Storage of Air Bag
System Components

S5JB0A8200002

SDM

WARNING

!

Never power up air bag system when SDM is
not rigidly attached to the vehicle. Otherwise,
personal injury may result.

CAUTION

!

After detecting one time of such collision as
to meet deployment conditions, SDM must
not be used. Refer to “Air Bag Diagnostic
System Check” when checking SDM.

8B-2 Air Bag System:

• Never attempt disassembly of SDM.
• When storing SDM, select a place where neither high

temperature nor high humidity is anticipated and oil,
water and dust are kept off.

• If SDM has been dropped, replace it with a new one.
• If SDM installation part of floor was damaged, repair

that part completely before reinstallation.

• All SDM and mounting bracket fasteners must be

carefully torqued and the arrow must be pointed
toward the front of the vehicle to ensure proper
operation of the air bag system.

Live (Undeployed) Air Bag (Inflator) Modules
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (undeployed) air bag (inflator) modules.
The rapid gas generation produced during deployment
of the air bag could cause the air bag (inflator) module,
or an object in front of the air bag (inflator) module, to be
thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an
accidental deployment.

WARNING

!

Never attempt to measure the resistance of
the air bag (inflator) modules (driver,
passenger and side of both sides and curtain
of both sides). It is very dangerous as the
electric current from the tester may deploy
the air bag.

• Never attempt disassembly of the air bag (inflator)

modules.

• If any abnormality is found, be sure to replace it with

new one as an assembly.

• When an abnormality is noted as existing in the live

(undeployed) air bag (inflator) module, be sure to
deploy it before discarding it.

• When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc., got on

the air bag (inflator) modules (driver, passenger, side
of both sides and curtain of both sides), wipe it off
immediately with a dry cloth.

• If air bag (inflator) module was dropped from a height

of 90 cm (3 ft) or more, it should be replaced with a
new one as an assembly.

Air Bag System: 8B-3

WARNING

!

• For handling and storage of a live air bag

(inflator) module, select a place where the
ambient temperature below 65

°C (150 °F),

without high humidity and away from
electric noise.

• When carrying a live air bag (inflator)

module, make sure the bag opening is
pointed away from you. In case of an
accidental deployment, the bag will then
deploy with minimal chance of injury.
Never carry the air bag (inflator) module by
the wires or connector on the underside of
the module.

Otherwise, personal injury may result.

WARNING

!

When leaving or storing live air bag (inflator)
module unattended on bench or other
surface, always its bag (trim cover) facing up
and away from surface.
It is also prohibited to place anything on top
of the trim cover and stack air bag (inflator)
modules.
This is necessary so that a free space is
provided to allow the air bag to expand in the
unlikely event of accidental deployment.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.

Live (Inactivated) Seat Belt Pretensioner
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (inactivated) seat belt pretensioners.
Also, when the seat belt pretensioners activate, gas is
generated and the seat belt (1) is retracted into the
retractor assembly (2) quickly.
Note, therefore, that if they activate accidentally, the seat
belt pretensioners and other object(s) around them may
be thrown through the air.

WARNING

!

Never attempt to measure the resistance of
the seat belt pretensioners. It is very
dangerous as the electric current from the
tester may activate pretensioner.
