SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
9J–11
BAG" warning lamp flashes seven times and then turns
“OFF" If it does not operate as described, perform the
“Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Diagnostic
System Check" in section.
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 93
°
C (200
°
F
).
2. Air bag assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic
Module (SDM) should not be used if they have been
dropped from a height of 100 centimeters (3.28
feet).
3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with
the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the front of
the vehicle. It is very important for the SDM to be
located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the
vehicle datum line. It is important that the SDM
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign
material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all
components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check" must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper “AIR
BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect
parts replacement.

Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The rapid gas
generation produced during deployment of the air bag
could cause the air bag assembly, or an object in front of
the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the
unlikely event of an accidental deployment.
