10B-8 AIR BAG SYSTEM
Use of Special Tool
WARNING:
To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the air bag system, do not use electrical test equipment
such as a battery powered or AC powered voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc., or any type of electrical equip-
ment other than that specified in this manual. Do not use a non-powered probe type tester.
Instructions in this manual must be followed carefully, otherwise personal injury may result.
You should be familiar with the tools listed in this section under the heading "Special Tool". You should be able
to measure voltage and resistance. You should be familiar with proper use of a scan tool such as Air Bag Driver/
Passenger Load Tool, Connector Test Adapter Kit and the Digital Multimeter.
Special tool
(A): 09932-76010 (Connector Test Adapter Kit)
This must be used whenever a diagnostic procedure requests
checking or probing a terminal.
Using the appropriate adapter in the special tool will ensure that
no damage to the terminal will occur from the multimeter probe,
such as spreading or bending.
An SDM short bar release tool is included in the connector test
adapter kit.
Inserting it into the SDM connector will release the shorting bar.
The adapter will also give an idea of whether contact tension is
sufficient, helping to find an open or intermittent open due to poor
terminal contact.
