Pre-tensioner Seat Belt Inspection

• Inspecting a pre-tensioner seat belt using a

tester can operate (deploy) the pre-tensioner
seat belt, which may cause serious injury. Do
not use a tester to inspect a pre-tensioner
seat belt. Always use the on-board diagnostic
function to diagnose the pre-tensioner seat
belt for malfunctions.

Air Bag System Component Disassembly

• Disassembling the air bag system

components could cause it to not operate
(deploy) normally. Never disassemble any air
bag system components.

Air Bag Module, Pre-tensioner Seat Belt Handling

• Oil, grease, or water on the air bag modules may cause the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts to fail

to operate (deploy) in an accident. Never allow oil, grease, or water to get on the air bag modules or
pre-tensioner seat belts.

• Inserting a screwdriver or similar object into

the connector of an air bag module or a pre-
tensioner seat belt may damage the connector
and cause the air bag module or the pre-
tensioner seat belt to operate (deploy)
improperly, which may cause serious injury.
Never insert any foreign objects into the air
bag module or seat belt connectors.

Seat Weight Sensor Handling

• The seat weight sensor has a built-in strain gauge which may operate improperly if the sensor is

dropped by itself or when installed to the seat. If it is dropped, replace the seat weight sensor with a
new one.

• Oil, grease, or water on the seat weight sensor may cause the system to operate (deploy) improperly.

Never allow oil, grease, or water to get on the seat weight sensor.

• Foreign material in the seat weight sensor components may cause the system to operate (deploy)

improperly. Always make sure that no foreign material can get into the seat weight sensor.

• Disassembling the seat weight sensor, or tightening any of the nuts and bolts installed to the sensor

body may cause it to operate (deploy) improperly. Never disassemble the seat weight sensor or tighten
any of the nuts or bolts installed to the body of the sensor.

Air Bag Module, Pre-tensioner Seat Belt Reuse

• Even if an air bag module or a pre-tensioner seat belt does not operate (deploy) in a collision and does

not have any external signs of damage, it may have been damaged internally, which may cause
improper operation. Before reusing a live (undeployed) air bag module and the pre-tensioner seat belts,
always use the on-board diagnostic to diagnose the air bag module and the pre-tensioner seat belts to
verify that they have no malfunction.

Air Bag Wiring Harness Repair

• Incorrectly repairing an air bag wiring harness

can accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag
module and pre-tensioner seat belts. If a
problem is found in the air bag wiring
harness, always replace the wiring harness
with a new one.
