CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
The procedure listed below is for the LH side.
PROCEDURE
INSTALL CLIP
Install a new clip.
INSTALL NO. 2 SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
Check that the engine switch is off.
Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.
If this procedure is performed without disconnecting the negative (-) terminal of the battery, the airbag may deploy even if an impact is applied only to the No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly. Therefore, make sure that the negative (-) terminal of the battery is disconnected before performing this procedure.
Attach the guide and hold the No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly in place.
Install the bolt.
Note
If the No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly has been dropped, replace it with a new one.
When installing the No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly, be careful that the SRS wiring does not interfere with or is not pinched between other parts.
Tighten the bolt while holding the No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly because the No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly guide is easily damaged.
Before connecting the airbag connector, check that the position of the housing lock is correct as shown in the illustration.
| *a | CPA | *b | Housing |
| *c | Correct | *d | Incorrect |
Connect the airbag connector.
Note
When connecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
While holding the CPA, be sure to engage the connectors until they are locked and check that the CPA is in its original position (when locking, make sure that a click sound can be heard).
Note
Do not push down the upper part of the CPA shown in the illustration when connecting the airbag connector.
