component. Failure to do this may result in accidental air
bag deployment and possible personal injury. Refer to
DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
* For about 60 seconds after air bag system is disabled, it
retains enough voltage to deploy air bags. After disabling
system, wait at least 60 seconds before servicing.
* After servicing, always turn ignition on from passenger-side
of vehicle in case of accidental air bag deployment.
* After servicing, check SRS warning light to verify system
operation. See SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK.
* Always wear safety glasses when servicing or handling an
air bag.
* The SRS-ECU must be stored in its original special container
until used for service. It must be stored in a clean, dry
place, away from sources of extreme heat, sparks and high
electrical energy.
* DO NOT expose air bag module and clockspring to temperatures
greater than 200
F (93C).
* When placing a live air bag module on a bench or other
surface, always face air bag module and trim cover up, away
from surface. This will reduce motion of module if air bag
accidentally deploys.
* After air bag deploys, air bag surface may contain deposits
of sodium hydroxide, which irritates skin. Always wear
safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during
clean-up. Wash hands using mild soap and water. Follow
correct clean-up and disposal procedures. Refer to
DISPOSAL PROCEDURES .
* Because of critical system operating requirements, DO NOT
service any SRS components. Repairs are only made by
replacing defective part(s).
* DO NOT allow any electrical source near inflator on the back
of air bag module.
* When carrying a live (undeployed) air bag module, trim cover
must be pointed away from body to minimize injury in case of
accidental air bag deployment.
* DO NOT probe wire harness connector terminals. Instead, use
SRS Check Harness (MB991530).
* DO NOT probe a wire through insulator, as this will damage
it and eventually cause failure due to corrosion.
* When performing electrical tests, prevent accidental
shorting of terminals. Such shorts can damage fuses or
components and may cause a second fault code to set, making
diagnosis of original problem more difficult.
* Never use an analog volt/ohm meter or test light in place of
a Digital Volt/Ohm Meter (DVOM). Use only a DVOM with a
maximum test current of 2 mA (milliamps) at minimum range of
resistance measurement. Also see SPECIAL TOOLS.
* If SRS is not fully functional for any reason, DO NOT drive
vehicle until system is repaired and is fully functional. DO
NOT remove bulbs, modules, sensors or other components, or
in any way disable system from operating normally. If SRS is
not functional, park vehicle until repairs are made.
SPECIAL TOOLS
To avoid air bag deployment when working on SRS, DO NOT use
electrical test equipment such as test lights, battery or A/C-powered
volt/ohmmeter, or any type of electrical equipment other than those
specified by manufacturer. See SRS RECOMMENDED TOOLS table.

DTC 32: "G" SENSOR SYSTEM
NOTE: DTC is set if ECU detects "G" sensor output voltage less

Replacement of the rotor is required because it does not meet
design specifications.
Some conditions indicate that a service or part replacement
is suggested because the part is close to the end of its useful life
or addresses a customer's need, convenience or request. If a
customer's vehicle has one of these conditions, the procedure may be
only to suggest service.
Example:
An exhaust pipe is rusted, corroded or weak, but no leaks are
present. In this case, the exhaust pipe has not failed.
However, there is evidence that the pipe may need replacement
in the near future. Replacement of the pipe may be suggested
for the customer's convenience in avoiding a future problem.
Example:
The customer desires improved ride and/or handling, but the
vehicle's shocks or struts have not failed. In this case,
replacement may be suggested to satisfy the customer's
wishes. In this case, replacement of the shocks or struts may
not be sold as a requirement.
A customer, of course, has the choice of whether or not a
shop will service his or her vehicle. He or she may decide not to
follow some of your suggestions. When a repair is required, a MAP
shop must refuse partial service on that system if, in the judgment of
the service provider, proceeding with the work could create or
continue an unsafe condition. When a procedure states that required
or suggested repair or replacement is recommended, the customer must
be informed of the generally acceptable repair/replacement options
whether or not performed by the shop.
When presenting suggested repairs to the customer, you must
present the facts, allowing the customer to draw their own conclusions
and make an informed decision about how to proceed.
The following reasons may be used for required and suggested
services. These codes are shown in the "Code" column of the MAP
Uniform Inspection & Communications Standards that follow:
Reasons to Require Repair or Replacement
A - Part no longer performs intended purpose
B - Part does not meet a design specification (regardless of
performance)
C - Part is missing
NOTE: When a repair is required, the shop must refuse partial
service to the system in question, if the repair creates
or continues an unsafe condition.
Reasons to Suggest Repair or Replacement
1 - Part is close to the end of its useful life (just above
discard specifications, or weak; failure likely to occur
soon, etc.)
2 - To address a customer need, convenience, or request (to
stiffen ride, enhance performance, eliminate noise, etc.)
3 - To comply with maintenance recommended by the vehicle's
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
4 - Technician's recommendation based on substantial and
informed experience
NOTE: Suggested services are always optional. When presenting
suggested repairs to the customer, you must present the
facts, allowing the customer to draw their own conclusions
