SERVICE WARNINGS
Component Disassembly
• Disassembling and reassembling the
components of the air bag system can render
the system inoperative, which may result in
serious injury or death in the event of an
accident. Do not disassemble any air bag
system components.
Wiring Harness Repair
• Incorrectly repairing an air bag system wiring
harness can accidentally deploy the air bag
module or pre-tensioner seat belt, which can
cause serious injury. If a problem is found in
the system wiring, replace the wiring harness.
Do not try to repair it.
Air Bag Module Inspection
• Inspecting an air bag module using an
ohmmeter can deploy the air bag module,
which may cause serious injury. Do not use an
ohmmeter to inspect an air bag module.
Always use the on-board diagnostic to
diagnose the air bag module for malfunctions.
Air Bag Module Handling
• A live (undeployed) air bag module may
accidentally deploy when it is handled and
cause serious injury. When carrying a live
(undeployed) air bag module, point the front
surface away from your body to lessen the
chance of injury in case it deploys.
