AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS

A3U081001046W02

Component Disassembly

•

Disassembling and reassembling the
components of the air bag system can render
the system inoperative, which may result in
serious injury or death in the event of an
accident. Do not disassemble any air bag
system component.

Wiring Harness Repair

•

Incorrectly repairing an air bag system wiring
harness can accidentally deploy the air bag
module or pre-tensioner seat belt, which can
cause serious injury. If a problem is found in
the system wiring, replace the wiring harness.
Do not try to repair it.

Air Bag Module Inspection

•

Inspecting an air bag module using an
ohmmeter can deploy the air bag module,
which may cause serious injury. Do not use
an ohmmeter to inspect an air bag module.
Always use the on-board diagnostic function
to diagnose the air bag module for
malfunctions. (See 08–02–2 FOREWORD.)

Air Bag Module Handling

•

A live (undeployed) air bag module may
accidentally deploy when it is handled and
cause serious injury. When carrying a live
(undeployed) air bag module, point the front
surface away from your body to lessen the
chance of injury in case it deploys.

AIR BAG SYSTEM

•

A live (undeployed) air bag module placed
face down on a surface is dangerous. If the air
bag module deploys, the motion of the
module can cause serious injury. Always face
the front surface up to reduce the motion of
the module in case it accidentally deploys.

Side Air Bag Module Handling

•

When the side air bag module deploys due to a collision, the interior of the seat back (pad, frame, etc.)
may become damaged. If the seat back is reused and the side air bag module does not deploy properly,
a serious accident may result. When the side air bag module deploys, always replace both the side air
bag module and the seat back (pad, frame, trim) with new parts. After service, confirm that the seat
operates normally and that the harness is positioned properly.

SAS Control Module Handling

•

Disconnecting the SAS control module connector or removing the SAS control module with the
ignition switch at ON position can cause the air bag modules to deploy, which may seriously injure
you. Before disconnecting the SAS control module connector or removing the SAS control module,
turn the ignition switch to LOCK position, then disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for more
than 1 minute to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.

•

Connecting the SAS control module connector without firmly installing the SAS control module to the
vehicle is dangerous. The crash sensor inside the control module may send an electrical signal to the
air bag modules. This will deploy the air bag modules, which may result in serious injury. Therefore,
before connecting the connector, firmly mount the control module to the vehicle.

•

For vehicles with a single point sensor, once an air bag module is deployed due to an accident or other
causes, the SAS control module must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have
any external signs of damage. The used SAS control module may have been damaged internally which
may cause improper operation, resulting in major injuries or even death. The used single point SAS
control module cannot be bench-checked or self-checked.

Side Air Bag Sensor Handling

•

Disconnecting the side air bag sensor connector or removing the side air bag sensor with the ignition
switch at ON position can cause the side air bag sensor to operate and the side air bag module to
deploy, which may seriously injure you. Before disconnecting the side air bag sensor connector or
removing the side air bag sensor, always turn the ignition switch to LOCK position, then disconnect
the negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 minute to allow the backup power supply of the
SAS control module to deplete its stored power.

•

If the side air bag sensor is subjected to shock or the sensor is disassembled, the side air bag module
may operate (deploy) suddenly and cause injury, or it may fail to operate normally and cause a serious
accident. Do not subject the side air bag sensor to shock or disassemble the sensor.

•

Because a sensor is built into the side air bag sensor, when the side air bag module operates
(deploys), there may be a problem, such as an internal malfunction, even if there is not any external
damage or deformation. If the side air bag sensor is reused, the side air bag module may fail to operate
normally and cause a serious injury. Always replace the side air bag sensor with a new part. The side
air bag sensor cannot be bench-checked or self-checked.

Pre-tensioner Seat Belt Inspection

•

Inspecting a pre-tensioner seat belt using an
ohmmeter can deploy the pre-tensioner seat
belt, which can cause serious injury. Do not
use an ohmmeter to inspect the pre-tensioner
seat belt. Always use the on-board diagnostic
to diagnose the pre-tensioner seat belt for
malfunctions.

Component Handling

•

Oil, grease, water, etc. on components may cause the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belt to
fail to deploy in an accident, which may cause serious injury. Do not allow oil, grease, water, etc., on
components.

•

Inserting a screwdriver, etc. into the
connector of an air bag module or a pre-
tensioner seat belt may damage the connector
and cause the air bag module to deploy
improperly, which may cause serious injury.
Do not insert any foreign objects into the
connector.

Component Reuse

•

Even if an air bag module or a pre-tensioner seat belt does not deploy in a collision and does not have
any external signs of damage, it may have been damaged internally, which may cause improper
operation. Improper operation may cause serious injury. Always self-check the undamaged air bag
module or pre-tensioner seat belt to determine whether it can be reused. (See 08–02–2 FOREWORD.)

Warning

••••

Handling the air bag module improperly can accidentally deploy the air bag module, which may
seriously injure you. Read AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS before handling the air bag
module. (See 08–10–3 AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS.)

1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK position.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 minute.
3. Remove in the order indicated in the table.

4. Install in the reverse order of removal.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
6. Verify that the air bag system warning light

illuminates for approximately 6 seconds and
