Precautions and Procedures
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before
servicing the airbag system. Observe the instructions
described in this manual, or the airbags could
accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
• Except when doing electrical inspections, always turn
the ignition switch to LOCK (0), disconnect the
negative cable from the battery, then wait for
3 minutes before starting work.
NOTE: The SRS memory is not erased even if the
ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0) or the battery
cables are disconnected from the battery.
• Use replacement parts which are manufactured to the
same standards and quality as the original parts. Do
not install used SRS parts. Use only new parts when
making SRS repairs.
• Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it.
Do not install any part that shows signs of being
dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks
or deformation.
＊０１
• Before disconnecting the SRS unit connectors,
always disconnect the appropriate SRS parts
connectors.
• Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it
is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output is
10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the lowest
value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher
output could cause accidental deployment and
possible injury.
• Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
Steering-Related Precautions

the wiring, making the SRS system, remote steering
wheel controls, and the horn inoperative. Center the

– Installation of the steering wheel
– Installation of the cable reel
– Installation of the steering column
– Other steering-related adjustment or installation
• Do not disassemble the cable reel.
• Do not apply grease to the cable reel.
• If the cable reel shows any signs of damage, replace
it with a new one. For example, if it does not rotate
smoothly, replace the cable reel.
