SRS Unit, Front and Side Impact Sensors
('02-04 Models), Driver's Seat Position
Sensor, Front Passenger's Weight Sensors
unit, and Front Passenger's Weight Sensors
('03-04 Models)
• Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front
impact sensors or the side impact sensors whenever
the ignition switch is ON (II), or for at least 3 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
• During installation or replacement, be careful not to
bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area
around the SRS unit, front impact sensors, and the
side impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally
deploy and cause damage or injury.
• After a collision in which any airbags were deployed,
replace the SRS unit, seat belt tensioners, front
impact sensors, and other related components (see
page 23-367). After a collision in which side airbag
was deployed, replace the side impact sensor on the
deployed side and the SRS unit. After a collision in
which the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy,
inspect for any damage or any deformation on the
SRS unit, front impact sensors, and the side impact
sensors. If there is any damage, replace the SRS unit
and/or the side impact sensors.
• After a collision, calibrate the front passenger's
weight sensors. If the sensors cannot be calibrated,
replace them.
• Do not disassemble the SRS unit or the side impact
sensors, driver's seat position sensor, front
passenger's weight sensor unit, and front passenger's
weight sensors.
• Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery
negative cable and wait at least 3 minutes before
beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit,
or disconnecting the connectors from the SRS unit.
• Be sure the SRS unit and side impact sensors are
installed securely with the mounting bolts torqued to
9.8 N·m (1.0 kgf·m, 7.2 lbf·ft)
• Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side
impact sensors, and keep them away from dust.
• Store the SRS unit and the side impact sensors in a
cool (less than 104°F/40°C) and dry (less than 80 %
relative humidity, no moisture) area.
