INSTALLATION
NOTICE:
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When re-
placing parts, replace them 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 3 screws.
Torx wrench: T40 (Part No.09042±00020 or locally
manufactured tool)
Torque: 20 N´m (200 kgf´cm, 14 ft´lbf)
(b) Connect the airbag sensor connectors.
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 other defects in the case, bracket or
connector, replace the sensor assembly with a new
one.
When installing the senor assembly, take care that
the SRS wiring does not interfere with other parts and
is not pinched between other parts.
After installing , shake the sensor assembly to check
that there is no looseness.
