0A-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING:
SDM
• For handling and storage of a SDM, select a place where the ambient temperature below 65°C
(150°F), without high humidity and away from electric noise.
• During service procedures, be very careful when handling a Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
Never strike or jar the SDM.
• Never power up the air bag system when the SDM is not rigidly attached to the vehicle. All SDM and
mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully torqued and the arrow must be pointing toward the
front of the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered while not rigidly attached to the vehicle which could
cause deployment and result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners (If equipped)
• For handling and storage of a live seat belt pretensioner, select a place where the ambient tempera-
ture below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away from electric noise.
• Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire or connector of pretensioner. When placing a live seat
belt pretensioner on the workbench or some place like that, never put something on seat belt pre-
tensioner. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
• Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt pretensioners (drive and passenger). If disposal is nec-
essary, be sure to activate them according to activation procedures described in Section 10B before
disposal.
• The seat belt pretensioner immediately after activation is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to
cool it off before proceeding the work.
• With many service procedures, gloves and safety glasses should be worn to prevent any possible
irritation of the skin or eyes.
• Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air bags to activate, be sure to inspect sys-
tem parts and other related parts according to instructions under "Repair and Inspection Required
After an Accident" in Section 10B.
• When servicing parts other than air bag system, if shocks may be applied to air bag system compo-
nent parts, remove those parts beforehand.
• When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver, passenger and side), seat belt pretensioners
(driver and passenger), side sensors or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an impact to it. If an
excessive impact was applied, never attempt disassembly or repair but replace it with a new one.
• When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got onto air bag (inflator) modules (driver, passen-
ger and side) or seat belt pretensioners (drive and passenger), wipe off immediately with a dry cloth.
• Air bag wire harness is included in floor and instrument panel wire harnesses. Air bag wire harness
branched off from floor and instrument panel wire harnesses can be identified easily as it is covered
with a yellow protection tube and it has yellow connectors. Be very careful when handling it.
• When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire harness, connector or terminal is found,
replace wire harness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.
• Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.
• Never use air bag system component parts from another vehicle.
• When using electric welding, be sure to disconnect all air bag (inflator) module connectors and pre-
tensioner connectors from air bag wire harness respectively.
• Never expose air bag system component parts directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after
painting) or flames.
