GENERAL INFORMATION 0A1-5
WARNING:
SDM
During service procedures, be very careful when handling
a Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). Never strike or jar
the SDM.
Never power up the air bag system when the SDM is not rig-
idly attached to the vehicle. All SDM and mounting bracket
fasteners must be carefully torqued to ensure proper opera-
tion of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered while not rigidly
attached to the vehicle which could cause deployment and
result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
D
Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air
bags to activate, be sure to inspect system parts and other
related parts according to instructions under REPAIR
AND INSPECTION REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT in
SECTION 10B.
D
When servicing parts other than air bag system, if shocks
may be applied to air bag system component parts, re-
move those parts beforehand.
D
When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver and
passenger) or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an im-
pact to it. If an excessive impact was applied (e.g.,
dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 feet) or more), never at-
tempt disassembly or repair but replace it with a new one.
D
When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got onto
air bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger), wipe off
immediately with a dry cloth.
D
Air bag wire harness can be identified easily as it is cov-
ered with a yellow protection tube. Be very careful when
handling it.
D
When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire har-
ness, connector or terminal is found, replace wire har-
ness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.
D
Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all com-
ponents are connected or a diagnostic flow table requests
it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.
D
Never use air bag system component parts from another
vehicle.
