(a) All connectors in the SRS are colored yellow to distin-
guish them from other connectors. Connectors having
special functions and specifically designed for the SRS
are used in the locations shown above to ensure high reli-
ability. These connectors use durable gold −plated termi-
nals.

(4) Connector Twin −Lock Mechanism
With this mechanism connectors (male and female
connectors) are locked by 2 locking devices to in-
crease connection reliability. If the primary lock is in-
complete, ribs interfere and prevent the secondary
lock.
(b) When the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision in the hatched area (Fig. 1) and the shock is larger than the pre-
determined level, the SRS is activated automatically. A
safing sensor is designed to go on at a smaller decelera-
tion rate than the airbag sensor. As illustrated in Fig. 2,
ignition is caused when current flows to the squib, which
happens when a safing sensor and the airbag sensor go
on simultaneously.When a deceleration force acts on the
sensors, two squibs in the driver airbag and front passen-
ger airbag ignite and generate gas. The gas discharging
into the driver airbag and front passenger airbag rapidly
increases the pressure inside the bags, breaking open
the steering wheel pad and instrument panel door.
Bag inflation then ends, and the bags deflate as the gas
is discharged through discharge holes at the bag’s rear or
side.

REPLACEMENT
REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
In the following cases, replace the airbag sensor assembly.
If the SRS has been deployed in a collision.
If the airbag sensor assembly has been found to be faulty in troubleshoo\
ting.
If the airbag sensor assembly has been dropped.
CAUTION:
For removal and installation of the airbag sensor assembly, see page RS−33 and RS−36 . Be sure to
follow the correct procedure.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE:
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace with \
new parts.
Never reuse the airbag sensor assembly involved in a collision when the airbag has deployed.
Never repair a sensor in order to reuse it.
1. INSTALL AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
(a) Using a torx wrench, install the airbag sensor assembly with the 4 screw\
s. Torx wrench: T40 (Part No. 09042 −00020 or locally manufactured tool)
Torque: 21 N·m (210 kgf·cm, 15 ft·lbf)
(b) Connect the connector.
NOTICE:
Installation of the connector is done with the sensor assembly installed\
.
Make sure the sensor assembly is installed to the specified torque.
If the sensor assembly has been dropped, or there are cracks, dents or o\
ther defects in the
case, bracket or connector, replace the sensor assembly with a new one.
When installing the sensor assembly, take care that the SRS wiring does not interfere with other
parts and is not pinched between other parts.
After installation, shake the sensor assembly to check that there is no \
looseness.
2. INSTALL THE REMOVED PARTS
