Precautions/ Procedures
)General Precautions
r Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it Do
not install any part that shows signs of being dropped
or improperly handled' such as dents, cracks or defor-
mation:
- Airbags- Cable reel
- SRS unit
-
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system lf
it's not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output ls
1O mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the smallest
value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher
output could damage the airbag circuit or cause acci-
dental deployment and possible injury'
I Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle
When making SRS repairs, use only new pans'
) Except when performing electrical inspections'
always disconnect both the negative cable and posl-
tive cable from the battery, and wait at least three
minutes before beginning work
r Replacement of the combination light and wiper/
washer switches and cruise control switch can be
done without removing the steering wheel:
- Combinalion light and wiper/washer switch replace
ment, see section 23
- Cruise control sevresume switch replacement' see
section 23.
. Whenever the ignition switch is ON {ll), or has been
turned OFF for less than three minutes' be careful not
to bump the SRS unit; the airbag(s) could accidental-
ly deploy and cause damage or injury'
. Whenever the airbag{s) has(have) been activated'
replace the SRS unit.l,

AIRBAG CONNECTORS(With built in shon contact)
. Store the removed airbag assembly on a secure flat
surface away from any high heat source {exceeding
212"FI1OO"CJ and free of any oil' grease, detergent or
water.
CAUTION: lmproper handling or storage can intern'lJy

Precautions/Procedu res
SRS Unit Precautions
Take extra care when painting or doing body work inthe area below the dashboard. Avoid direct exDosureof the SRS unit or wiring to heat guns, welding. orsprayang equipment.
Disconnect the airbag connector(s) before discon-necting SRS harness connectors (see page24-1|1J.
After any degree of frontal body damage, or after acollision without airbag deployment, inspect the SRSunit for physical damage. lf it is dented. cracked, ordeformed, replace it.
Be sure the SRS unit is installed securely.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit.
Store the SRS unit in a cool (less than about 104.F/40"C) and dry (less than 80% humidity, no moisture)place. Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit, andkeep it away from dust.
During installation or replacement, be careful not tobump (impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area aroundthe SRS unit. The airbag(s) could accidentally deptoyand cause damage or injury.
24-8
Inspection After Deployment
After a collision ln which the airbag(s) was (were)
deployed, replace the SRS unit, and inspect the following:
1. Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace. don,trepair, any damaged harnesses.
2. Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. lf there is anydamage, replace the cable reel.
3. After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn theignition switch on. lf the SRS indicator light comeson for about six seconds and then goes off. the SRSsystem is OK. lf the indicator light does not functionproperly, go to SRS Troubleshooting.
