)Control Unit Input Test ('99 - 00 models with Keyless Entry System)
1.Remove the driver's kick panel.
Disconnect the 18P connector from the control unit.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contacl.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system
. lf the terminals look OK, make rhe following input tests at the connector.
- lf anv test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck ihe system
- lf all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace it

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 Handling and Storage
Do not try to disassemble the airbag assembly. lt has no
serviceable parts Once an airbag has been operated
(deployed). it cannot be repaired or reused'
For temporary storage of the airbag assembly during ser-
vice. olease observe the following precauttons:
. store the .emoved airbag assemblv with the pad sur-
face uo The driver's (and front passenger's) airbag

Airbag
)Replacement
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed' the
airbag assemblies and the SRS unit must be replaced'
!!!@ Store a removed airbag with the pad sur'

accidental deployment could propel the unit with
enough force to cause serious iniury'
CAUTION:
. Always disconnsct lhe airbag conn€ctor(s) when the
harness is disconnected.
. Do not disassemble or tamper with the ailbag'
NOTE:
. Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle'
When repairing, use only new SRS parts'
o Carefully inspect the airbag before you install it Do
not insiall an airbag that shows signs oI being
dropped or improperly handled, such as dents' cracks
or deformation.
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable' then discon-
nect the positive cable from the battery' and wait at
least three minutes

Disposal
Before scrapping any airbags (including those in a wholevehicle to be scrapped), the airbags must be deployed. lfthe vehicle is still within the warranty period, before youdeploy the airbags, the Honda District Service Managermust give approval and/or special instructions. Onlv afterthe airbags have been deployed (as the result of vehiclecollision, for example), can they be scrapped.lf the airbags appear intact (not deployed). treat themwith extreme caution.
Follow this p.ocedure:
Deploying the Airbags: In.vehiclo
NOTE: lf an SRS vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, itsairbags should be deployed while still in the vehicle. Theairbags should not be considered as salvageable partsand should never be installed in another veh;cle.
!@ confirm thst oach airbag assembty issecurely mounted; otharwiso. sev€re personal iniurycould result lrom deployment.
1. Disconnect the baftery negative cable, then discon_nect the positive cable.
2. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properlyby following the check procedure on the tool labelor on page 24-'l'l .
