AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS
id000000920000
Air Bag Module Inspection
• Inspecting an air bag module using a tester can operate (deploy) the air bag module, which may cause
serious injury. Do not use a tester to inspect an air bag module. Always use the on-board diagnostic
function to diagnose the air bag module for malfunctions.
Air Bag Module Handling
• Before removing the air bag module or disconnecting the air bag module connector, always switch the
ignition off, disconnect the negative battery cable, and then wait for 1 min or more to allow the backup
power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.
• Handling a live (undeployed) air bag module
that is pointed toward your body could result
in serious injury if the air bag module were to
accidentally operate (deploy). When carrying
a live (undeployed) air bag module, point the
deployment surface away from your body to
lessen the chance of injury in case it operates
(deploys).
• A live (undeployed) air bag module placed
with its deployment surface to the ground is
dangerous. If the air bag module were to
accidentally operate (deploy), it could cause
serious injury. Always place a live
(undeployed) air bag module with its
deployment surface up.
Side Air Bag Module Handling
• Before removing the side air bag module or disconnecting the side air bag module connector, always
switch the ignition off, disconnect the negative battery cable, and then wait for 1 min or more to allow
the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.
• When a side air bag module operates (deploys) due to a collision, the interior of the seat back (pad,
frame, trim) may become damaged. If a side air bag does not operate (deploy) normally from a seat
back that has been reused, a serious accident may result. After a side air bag has operated (deployed),
always replace both the side air bag module and the seat back (pad, frame, trim) with new parts. After
servicing, verify that the seat operates normally and that the wiring harness is not caught.
