SRS Unit, Front and Side Impact Sensors,
Rear Safing Sensor, Driver's Seat Position
Sensor, and Front Passenger's Weight
Sensors
• Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), disconnect the
negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3
minutes before starting installation or replacement of
the SRS unit or disconnecting the connectors from
the SRS unit.
• Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front
impact sensors, side impact sensors, or rear safing
sensor when the ignition switch is at ON (II), or for at
least 3 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to
LOCK (0).
• During installation or replacement, be careful not to
bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area
around the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side
impact sensors, or rear safing sensor. The airbags
could accidentally deploy and cause damage or
injury.
＊０８
• After a collision where a front airbag, side airbags,
side curtain airbags, or a seat belt tensioner deployed,
go to Component Replacement/Inspection after
Deployment (see page 24-203). After a collision
where the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy,
inspect for any damage or any deformation on the
SRS unit, front impact sensors, rear safing sensor,
and side impact sensors. Replace all damaged parts.
＊０９
• Do not disassemble the SRS unit, front impact
sensors, side impact sensors, rear safing sensor,
driver's seat position sensor and front passenger's
weight sensors.
• Be sure the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side
impact sensors, and rear safing sensor are installed
securely with the mounting bolts torqued to 9.8 N·m
(1.0 kgf·m, 7.2 lbf·ft). Whenever you remove or
replace the SRS unit, safing sensor, or all impact
sensors, always install the components with new
bolts.
• Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side
impact sensors.
