(2) Work must be started at least 90 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned OFF and after the
cable is disconnected from the negative (-)
battery terminal.
(The SRS is equipped with a backup power
source. If work is started within 90 seconds after
turning the ignition switch OFF and
disconnecting the cable from the negative (-)
battery terminal, the SRS may deploy.
When the cable is disconnected from the
negative (-) battery terminal, clock and audio
system memory is erased. Before starting work,
make a note of the settings of each memory
system. When work is finished, reset the clock
and audio system as before.
CAUTION:
Never use a backup power source (battery or
other) to avoid erasing system memory. The
backup power source may inadvertently
power the SRS and cause it to deploy.
(3) Even in cases of a minor collision where the
SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad,
front passenger airbag assembly, front seat side
airbag assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly
and seat belt pretensioner should be inspected
(4) In minor collisions where the SRS does not
deploy, the steering wheel pad, front passenger
airbag assembly, front seat side airbag
assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly and
seat belt pretensioner should be inspected
before further use of the vehicle.
(5) Never use SRS parts from another vehicle.
When replacing parts, use new parts.
(6) Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor
assemblies if impacts are likely to be applied to
the sensor during repairs.
(7) Never disassemble and attempt to repair the
steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag
assembly, side airbag assembly, curtain shield
airbag assembly and seat belt pretensioner.
(8) Replace the steering wheel pad, front passenger
airbag assembly, front seat side airbag
assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly and
seat belt pretensioner if: 1) damage has
occurred from being dropped, or 2) cracks, dents
or other defects in the case, bracket or
connector are present.
(9) Do not directly expose the airbag sensor
assemblies or airbag assemblies to hot air or
flames.
(10)Use an ohmmeter / voltmeter with high
impedance (10 k
Ω/V minimum) for
troubleshooting electrical circuits.
