SRS components are located in this area. Reviewthe SRS component locations (see page 23-'13) and precautions andprocedures (see page 23-14) in the SRS section before performing repairs or service.
1. Disconnect the 14P connector from the control unit.
2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose, orcorroded, repairthem as necessary, and recheckthe system.. lf the terminals look OK, go to step 3.
