SRS CONNECTOR
The connector of the SRS diagnosis unit has a double lock
mechanism, fit verification mechanism and connector shorting
mechanism.
DOUBLE LOCK MECHANISM
The mechanism is composed of two mechanisms: each
connector of the SRS diagnosis unit is locked to the connector of
the harness, then these connectors (of the four harnesses) are
locked with the secondary lock lever mounted on the connector
of the SRS diagnosis unit side.
The secondary lock lever locking is done as the lock spring fits in
the notch of the connector.
The operating principle is described below.
When Connectors Are To Be Fitted
(1) The SRS diagnosis unit and harness side connectors are
fitted. (Primary lock)
(2) The secondary lock lever mounted to the SRS diagnosis unit
side connector is pressed down by finger until a click is heard
indicating that the connectors have been locked. (Secondary
lock)
If the harness and SRS diagnosis unit connectors do not
properly fit, the secondary lock lever side projection and the
harness side connector projection interfere with each other,
making it impossible to lock the connectors.
When Connectors Are Unlocked
(1) Press in the lock spring with a flat tip (-) screwdriver to
disengage the lock spring from the notch area of the
connector, and release the lock (secondary lock) of the
secondary lock lever.
Caution
Forced removal of the connector without releasing the
secondary lock lever will result in a damaged lock lever.
(2) Press the primary lock of each of the harness side connectors
and remove the harness side connector.
