Wiring Precautions; Spring-Loaded Lock Connector With Built-In Short Contact; Connector Halves Disconnected; Connector Halves Connected - Honda CR-V 1997 Service Manual

Wiring Precautions
• Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.
NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow
outer covering.
• Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not
pinched or interfering with other parts.
• Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and
grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-
metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
