(4)
Never use SRS related parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new
parts.
(5)
Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during
repairs.
(6)
Never disassemble and repair the airbag sensor assembly, horn button assembly, instrument
panel passenger airbag assembly, front seat airbag assembly and the curtain shield airbag as-
sembly or seat belt pretensioner.
(7)
If the airbag sensor assembly, the side airbag sensor assembly, the horn button assembly, the
instrument panel passenger airbag assembly, the front seat airbag assembly or the curtain shield
airbag assembly have been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case,
bracket or connector, replace them with new ones.
(8)
Do not directly expose the airbag sensor assembly, the horn button assembly, the instrument
panel passenger airbag assembly, the front seat airbag assembly, the curtain shield airbag as-
sembly or the seat belt pretensioner to hot air or flames.
(9)
Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 k
Ω
/V minimum) for troubleshooting of an electrical
circuit.
(10) Information labels are attached to the SRS components. Follow the instructions on the notices.
(11) After work on the supplemental restraint system is completed, check the SRS warning light (See
page
05–690
).
(b)
SPIRAL CABLE (in Combination Switch)
(1)
The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the
steering column with the spiral cable at the neutral
position, otherwise cable disconnection and other
troubles may occur. Refer to page
60–25
on this
manual concerning the correct installation of the
steering wheel.
(c)
HORN BUTTON ASSEMBLY (with Airbag)
(1)
When removing the horn button assembly or handling a new horn button, it should be placed with
the pad top surface facing upward. Placing it with the pad surface facing downward may lead
to a serious accident if the airbag accedentally inflates. Also, do not place the horn button on top
of one another.
(2)
Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib (This may cause the airbag to inflate, which
is very dangerous).
(3)
Grease should not be applied to the horn button assembly, and the pad should not be cleaned
with detergents of any kinds.
(4)
Store the horn button assembly where the ambient temperature remains below 93
°
C (200
°
F),
without high humidity and away from electrical noise.
(5)
When using electric welding, first disconnect the airbag connector (2 yellow pins) under the steer-
ing column near the combination switch connector before starting work.
