(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
bag deployment if work is done on the SRS
system immediately after the battery cable is
disconnected.

(3) Warning labels must be heeded when

servicing or handling SRS components.

NOTE: Warning labels can be found in the
following locations:

•

Sun visor

•

Glove box

•

SRS-ECU

•

Air bag module (Driver's side or
passenger's side)

•

Side air bag module

•

Clock spring

•

Steering gear box

•

Side impact sensor

(4) Always use the designated special tools and

test equipment.

(5) Store components removed from the SRS in a

clean and dry place. The air bag module
should be stored on a flat surface and placed
so that the pad surface is facing upward.

(6) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the

SRS components (SRS-ECU, air bag module,
clock spring, and side impact sensor). 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.

(8) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing

of the air bag module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag. (Refer to GROUP
52B, Air Bag Module Disposal
Procedures

P.52B-77

2. Observe the following when carrying out

operations on places where SRS components are
installed, including operations not directly related
to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts, do not

allow any impact or shock to the SRS
components.

(2) SRS components should not be subjected to

temperatures of over 93

C (200

F), so remove

the SRS components before drying or baking
the vehicle after painting. After re-installing
them, check the SRS warning light operation
to make sure that the system functions
properly.

After completion of the work steps (when the negative
battery terminal is connected), warm up the engine and
allow it to idle for approximately 10 minutes under the
