Precautions on Handling and Storage of Air Bag
Components
SDM
WARNING
!
Never power up air bag system when SDM is
not rigidly attached to the vehicle. Otherwise,
personal injury may result.
CAUTION
!
After detecting one time of such collision as
to meet deployment conditions, the SDM
must not be used. Refer to "Air Bag
Diagnostic System Check" when checking
the SDM.
• Never attempt disassembly of SDM.
• When storing SDM, select a place where neither high
temperature nor high humidity is anticipated and oil,
water and dust are kept off.
• If SDM has been dropped, replace it with a new one.
• If installation part of SDM was damaged, repair that
part completely before reinstallation.
• All SDM and mounting bracket fasteners must be
carefully torqued and the arrow must be pointed
toward the front of the vehicle to ensure proper
operation of the air bag system.
Live (Undeployed) Air Bag (Inflator) Modules
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (undeployed) air bag (inflator) modules.
S3RH0A8200002
The rapid gas generation produced during deployment
of the air bag could cause the air bag (inflator) module,
or an object in front of the air bag (inflator) module, to be
thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an
accidental deployment.
WARNING
!
Never attempt to measure the resistance of
the air bag (inflator) modules (driver,
passenger and side of driver and passenger).
It is very dangerous as the electric current
from the tester may deploy the air bag.
• Never attempt disassembly of the air bag (inflator)
modules.
• If any abnormality is found, be sure to replace it with
new one as an assembly.
• When an abnormality is noted as existing in the live
I3RH0A820085-01
(undeployed) air bag (inflator) module, be sure to
deploy it before discarding it.
• When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc., got on
the air bag (inflator) modules (driver, passenger and
side of driver and passenger), wipe it off immediately
with a dry cloth.
• If air bag (inflator) module was dropped from a height
of 90 cm (3 ft) or more, it should be replaced with a
new one as an assembly.
