• 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.
• 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, passenger, side or curtain, or pretensioner.
General Description
• Do not drop the airbag modules, subject them to
high temperature over 93"C (199"F), or let water,
oil or grease get on them; the internal parts may be
damaged and reliability greatly lowered.

fied clips to avoid interference or tangled up with
other parts.
