1. WARNINGS:
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental
restraints system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed
away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.
Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face
down. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of
sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is
irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so may
result in air bag deployment, which may result in personal injury. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be
replaced, not repainted.
Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If
a vehicle equipped with an air bag SRS is involved in a collision, inspect
the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. If
damaged, replace the sensor whether or not the air bag is deployed.
To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the
backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing any air
bag SRS components. To deplete the backup power supply energy,
disconnect the battery ground cable and wait one minute. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in personal injury.
• NOTE: Repair is made by replacement only. If a part is replaced and the
new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry
out the diagnostic procedure again.
