ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

D WARNING/CAUTION labels are attached on each part of air bag system components. Be sure to follow the
instructions.
WARNING:
When performing service on or around air bag system components or air bag system wiring, follow
the procedures listed below to temporarily disable the air bag system. Refer to appropriate service
manual procedures.
Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag deployment, personal injury or un-
needed air bag system repairs.
D The Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) in air bag system can maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deploy-
ment of air bag for up to 10 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" position, the battery is discon-
nected or the fuse powering the SDM is removed. Therefore, wait for 10 seconds or more after the power to the
SDM was turned "OFF" and before starting any operation on it.
Many of the service procedures require disconnection of the "AIR BAG" fuse and air bag (inflator) modules (driv-
er and passenger) from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental deployment.
D Never use air bag component parts from another vehicle.
D If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 935C (2005F) (for example, during a paint baking process),
remove the air bag system components.
D When servicing, if shocks may be applied to air bag system component parts, remove those parts beforehand.
