When removing the airbag module or handling a new airbag module, it should be placed with the pad top surface facing up. In this case, the twin-lock type connector lock lever should be in the locked state and care should be taken to place it so the connecter will not be damaged. Do not store a steering wheel pad on top of another one. (Storing the pad with its metallic surface up may lead to a serious accident if the airbag should inflate accidentally.)
Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib. (This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very dangerous.)
Store the airbag module where the ambient temperature remains below 93°C (200°F), without high humidity and away from electrical noise.
During electric welding, disconnect the airbag under the steering column near the MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH connector before starting work.
Be sure to proceed with airbag related service only after approx. 30 seconds or longer from the time the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position and the negative (-) battery cable is disconnected from the battery. The airbag system is equipped with a back-up power source to assure the deployment of airbags when the battery cable is disconneted during an accident. The back-up power is available for approx. 150ms.
When the negative (-) battery cable is disconnected from the battery, the clock and audio system's memory will be wiped out. So before starting work, make a record of the contents of the audio system's memory. When the work is finished, reset the audio system and adjust the clock.
Symptoms of malfunction of the airbag system are difficult to detect, so the diagnostic codes become the most important source of information when troubleshooting.
When troubleshooting the airbag system, always inspect the diagnostic codes before disconnecting the battery.
Never use airbag parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
Never attempt to disassemble and repair the airbag modules (DAB, PAB, SAB, BPT), clock spring and wiring in order to reuse them.
If any component of the SRS has been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace them with new ones.
After work on the airbag system is completed, perform an SRS SRI check. The airbag indicator lamp can be triggered by faults in other circuit in some cases. Therefore if the airbag indicator lamp goes on, be sure to erase the DTC codes using the Hi-Scan Pro just after repairing or replacing the troubled parts, including the fuse.
Especially when carring out body welding, never fail to disconnect the battery's negative (-) terminal.

A. DAB + PAB CAUTION TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY : ● For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, you must always wear your safety belt. ● Do not install rearward-facing child seats in any front passenger seat position. ● Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag. ● Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself. ● See the owner's manual for further information and explanation. | B. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIRBAG) INFORMATION The airbag is a supplemental restraint system (SRS). You must always wear the seat belts. The airbag system condition is normal if the "SRS" lamp in the cluster flashes approximately 6 times after the ignition key is turned on and then goes out. If any of the following conditions occur, the system must be serviced : 1. "SRS" lamp does not light when key is turned on. 2. "SRS" lamp stays lit or flashes continuously. 3. The airbag has inflated. The airbag system must be inspected by an authorized dealer ten years after the vehicle manufacture date shown on the certification label located at the left front door opening area. |
C. WARNING : Contents are poisonous and extremely flammable. Do not probe with electrical devices or otherwise tamper with item in any way. Servicing of this unit to be performed only by authorized personnel. | D. WARNING This car is equipped with a side airbag for each front seat. ● Do not use any accessory seat covers. ● Use of other seat covers could reduce the effect of the system. ● Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side airbag. ● Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat. ● For further information, see owner's manual. |
E. CAUTION : SRS clock spring This is not a repairable part. Do not disassemble or tamper with. If defective, replace entire unit as per service manual instructions. To re-center, rotate clockwise until tight. Then rotate in opposite direction approximately 3 turns and align →←. Failure to follow instructions may render SRS system inoperative possibly resulting in serious driver injury. | F. CAUTION : AIRBAG ESPS UNIT Detach connector before unmounting. Assemble strictly according to manual instructions. |
G. CAUTION : SRS Before removal of steering gearbox, read service manual, center the front wheels and remove the ignition key. Failure to do so may damage SRS clock spring and render SRS system inoperative,possibly resulting in serious driver injury. |
