Before Replacing any Components
Before replacing any of the air bag system components, or before disconnecting any connectors of the system, first disconnect the negative battery cable. Then remove the air bag module from the vehicle even if it has not failed.
Prohibition of Component Disassembly and Wiring Harness Repair
The components of the air bag system are not intended to be disassembled for service. If a component failure is indicated by the diagnostic module, replace the suspected component after verifying the condition of the connections and the wire harness. Do not disassemble any components. If an open circuit is found by a continuity test, replace the wire harness. Do not attempt to repair the wiring.
Handling of Air Bag Module
- 1Do not use an ohmmeter for inspection of the air bag module; it may cause an accidental deployment.
- 2When carrying a live air bag module, make sure the trim cover is pointed away from your body to prevent injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
