AB-4 General Description AIRBAG SYSTEM B: CAUTION • When servicing a vehicle, be sure to turn the ig- nition switch to OFF, disconnect the ground cable from battery, and wait for more than 20 seconds before starting work. • The airbag system is fitted with a backup power source. Be careful that the airbag may deploy after disconnecting the battery ground cable, if you do not wait for more than 20 seconds before starting the service of airbag system. • If the airbag warning light illuminates, repair the vehicle immediately. Be careful that the airbag or pretensioner may inflate incorrectly, or not inflate in collision without repair. • If sensors, airbag module, airbag control module, pretensioner or harness is deformed or damaged, replace with new parts. • When checking the airbag system, be sure to use a digital circuit tester. Use of an analog circuit tester may cause the airbag to activate erroneously due to a minimal current inside tester. • When checking, use a test harness (1). Damage to connector terminal cause malfunction. Do not di- rectly apply the tester probe to connector terminal of airbag. • Do not check continuity of the airbag modules for driver’s side, passenger’s side, or pretensioner.

AB-5 General Description AIRBAG SYSTEM • Do not drop any parts of the airbag system, sub- ject them to high temperature over 93°C (199°F), or let water, oil or grease get on them; the internal parts may be damaged and reliability greatly low- ered. • If damage, open circuit or rust is found on airbag system wiring harness, do not use a soldering equipment to repair. Replace the faulty harness with a new genuine part. • Do not allow water or oil to come in contact with the connector terminals. Also, do not touch the con- nector terminals. • When airbag control module, front sub sensor, side airbag sensor and curtain airbag sensor are removed, do not reuse the bolts and nuts. Always use new bolts and nuts. • Either of the airbag modules for driver’s, passen- ger’s and side or the pretensioner must not be dis- assembled. • The removed front seat with airbag module must be kept at least 200 mm (8 in) away from walls and other objects. • Do not use the airbag or pretensioner parts from other vehicles. Always replace the defective parts with new parts. • Never reuse a deployed airbag and pretension- er. • When painting or performing sheet metal work on the front part of the vehicle, including the front wheel apron, front fender and front side frame, re- move the front sub sensors and wiring harness of airbag system.
