DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE

CAUTION

• Never measure circuit resistance in the air 

bag modules (squib) even with the specified 
tester. Measuring the circuit resistance with a 
tester causes accidental air bag deployment 
due to current that flows or static, resulting in 
serious personal injury.

• When replacing the parts, discard the old 

parts after deploying the air bag according to 
the specified procedure (Refer to 

P.52B-152

).

If any malfunction is found in the following inspec-
tions, replace the air bag module with a new one.

2. Check the harness and connector for damage 

and the terminal for deformation.

3. Check the air bag inflator cases for dents, cracks 

or deformation.

4. Check the air bag module for proper installation.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

M1524047300386

CAUTION

• Disconnect the negative (−) battery terminal and wait for 60 seconds or more before starting work. 

Insulate the disconnected (

−)terminal by wrapping the tape (Refer to the item 5 of Service Precau-

tions 

P.52B-7

).

• Never attempt to disassemble or repair the air bag module. If faulty, replace it with new one.
• Do not drop the air bag module or allow contact with water, grease or oil. If denting, cracking, or 

deformation is discovered, replace it with new one.

• Store the air bag modules on a flat surface with the deployment surface facing up. Also, do not put 

anything on it.

• Do not store the air bag module in a place more than 93°C.
• When the air bags have been deployed, replace the and air bag module with new one.
• Put on gloves and safety glasses when handling deployed air bags.
• When discarding the air bag module, make sure to deploy the air bag before the disposal (Refer to 

P.52B-152

).

Pre-removal operation
• Turn ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.

• Disconnect the negative (−) battery terminal.
