AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS
AIR BAG MODULE INSPECTION
Inspecting an air bag module using a tester can operate (deploy) the air bag module, which may
cause serious injury. Do not use a tester to inspect an air bag module. Always use the on-board
diagnostic function to diagnose the air bag module for malfunctions.

AIR BAG MODULE HANDLING
Before removing the air bag module or disconnecting the air bag module connector, always turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK position, disconnect the negative battery cable, and then wait for 1
min or more to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored
power.
Handling a live (undeployed) air bag module that is pointed toward your body could result in
serious injury if the air bag module were to accidentally operate (deploy). When carrying a live
(undeployed) air bag module, point the deployment surface away from your body to lessen the
chance of injury in case it operates (deploys).
