Restraint System (SRS). For safe operation,
please follow the directions and heed all
warnings.

(2) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting

the battery cable before doing any further
work. The SRS system is designed to retain
enough voltage to deploy the air bag even
after the battery has been disconnected.
Serious injury may result from unintended air

(6) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the

SRS components (SRS-ECU, air bag module
and clock spring). If there is a defect, replace
the defective part.

(7) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check

the SRS warning light operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.

remove the SRS-ECU, the air bag module,
clock spring, the front impact sensor, the side
impact sensor, and the seat belt pre-tensioner.
