CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Some of these service operations affect the SRS airbag system. Read the precautionary notices concerning the SRS airbag system before servicing (See page SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS > AIRBAG SYSTEM (w/ VSC) > PRECAUTION).
PROCEDURE
INSTALL FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
Check that the ignition 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.
Insert the pin (stopper) into the body hole and install the front airbag sensor with the bolt.
Note
If the front airbag sensor has been dropped, or there are any cracks, dents or other defects in the case or connector, replace it with a new one.
When installing the front airbag sensor, be careful that the SRS wiring does not interfere with or is not pinched between other parts.
Make sure that the pin (stopper) is securely inserted into the body hole.
Tighten the bolt while holding the front airbag sensor because the front airbag sensor pin (stopper) is easily damaged.
Connect the connector to the front airbag sensor.
Note
When connecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
Before connecting the connector, check that the position of the white housing lock is correct as shown in the illustration.
Be sure to engage the connectors until they are locked (when locking, make sure that a click sound can be heard).
