Removal and Installation Ð Diagnosis
Sensor Unit
CAUTION:
lBefore servicing SRS, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least
3 minutes.
lDo not use old special bolts and nuts coated with bonding agent after removal; replace with new
ones.

FOR FRONTAL COLLISION
To repair the SRS for a frontal collision, perform the following steps.
When SRS is activated in a collision:
V01Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
V02Remove the air bag modules.
V03Check the SRS components using the table shown below:
lReplace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation).
V04Install new air bag modules.
V05Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT, and ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp. Refer to ``Self-diagnosis'' for
details (RS-2025). Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When SRS is not activated in a collision:
V01Check the SRS components using the table shown below:
lReplace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation).
V02Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT, and ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp. Refer to ``Self-diagnosis'' for
details (RS-2025). Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
