B: CAUTION
• When servicing a vehicle, be sure to turn the ig-
nition switch to OFF, disconnect the ground cable
from battery, and wait for more than 20 seconds
before starting work.
• The airbag system is fitted with a backup power
source. If the airbag system is serviced within 20
seconds after the ground cable is disconnected, it
may inflate.
• If the airbag warning light illuminates, repair the
vehicle immediately. Airbag or pretensioner may in-
flate incorrectly, or not inflate in collision.
• If sensors, airbag module, airbag control module,
pretensioner and harness are deformed or dam-
aged, replace them with new parts.
• When checking the airbag system, be sure to
use a digital circuit tester. Use of an analog circuit
tester may cause the airbag to activate erroneous-
ly.
General Description
• When checking, use a test harness (1). Since
damage to the connector terminal may cause the
airbag to activate erroneously, do not directly apply
the tester probe to any connector terminal of the
airbag.

• Do not check continuity of the airbag modules for
driver's side, passenger's side and curtain, or pre-
tensioner.
