CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.
The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.
Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
The procedure listed below is for the LH side.
PROCEDURE
INSTALL DOOR SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR
Check that the power switch is off.
Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal to disable the SRS system.
If this procedure is performed without disconnecting the cable from negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal, the airbag may deploy even if an impact is applied only to the door side airbag sensor. Therefore, make sure that the cable from negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal is connected before performing this procedure.
Before connecting the airbag connector, check that the position of the housing lock is correct as shown in the illustration.

Note
If the door side airbag sensor has been dropped, replace it with a new one.
When installing the door side airbag sensor, be careful that the SRS wiring does not interfere with or is not pinched between other parts.
Tighten the bolt while holding the door side airbag sensor because the door side airbag sensor guide is easily damaged.
Connect the connector.
