AIR BAG SYSTEM
SERVICE WARNINGSA6E813001046202Component Disassembly
•Disassembling and reassembling the
components of the air bag system can render
the system inoperative, which may result in
serious injury or death in the event of an
accident. Do not disassemble any air bag
system components.
Wiring Harness Repair
•Incorrectly repairing an air bag system wiring
harness can accidentally deploy the air bag
module or pre-tensioner seat belt, which can
cause serious injury. If a problem is found in
the system wiring, replace the wiring harness.
Do not try to repair it.
Air Bag Module Inspection
•Inspecting an air bag module using an
ohmmeter can deploy the air bag module,
which may cause serious injury. Do not use an
ohmmeter to inspect an air bag module.
Always use the on-board diagnostic to
diagnose the air bag module for malfunctions.
Air Bag Module Handling
•A live (undeployed) air bag module may
accidentally deploy when it is handled and
cause serious injury. When carrying a live
(undeployed) air bag module, point the front
surface away from your body to lessen the
chance of injury in case it deploys.

A6E8130W022
AIR BAG SYSTEM
T–33
T
•A live (undeployed) air bag module placed
face down on a surface is dangerous. If the air
bag module deploys, the motion of the
module can cause serious injury. Always face
the front surface up to reduce the motion of
the module in case it accidentally deploys.
Side Air Bag Module Handling
•When the side air bag module deploys due to a collision, the interior of the seat back (pad, frame, etc.)
may become damaged. If the seat back is reused and the side air bag module does not deploy properly,
a serious accident may result. When the side air bag module deploys, always replace both the side air
bag module and the seat back (pad, frame, trim) with new parts. After service, confirm that the seat
operates normally and that the harness is positioned properly.
SAS Unit Handling
•Disconnecting the SAS unit connector or removing the SAS unit with the ignition switch at ON position
can cause the air bag modules to deploy, which may seriously injure you. Before disconnecting the
SAS unit connector or removing the SAS unit, turn the ignition switch to LOCK position, then
disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 minute to allow the backup power
supply of the SAS unit to deplete its stored power.
•Connecting the SAS unit connector without firmly installing the SAS unit to the vehicle is dangerous.
The crash sensor inside the control module may send an electrical signal to the air bag modules. This
will deploy the air bag modules, which may result in serious injury. Therefore, before connecting the
connector, firmly mount the control module to the vehicle.
•For vehicles with a single point sensor, once an air bag module is deployed due to an accident or other
causes, the SAS unit must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any external
signs of damage. The used SAS unit may have been damaged internally which may cause improper
operation, resulting in major injuries or even death. The used single point SAS unit cannot be
bench-checked or self-checked.
Crash Zone Sensor Handling
•Disconnecting the crash zone sensor connector or removing the crash zone sensor with the ignition
switch at ON position can cause the crash zone sensor to operate and the air bag modules and pre-
tensioner seat belts to deploy, which may seriously injure you. Before disconnecting the crash zone
sensor connector or removing the crash zone sensor, always turn the ignition switch to LOCK position,
then disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 minute to allow the backup power
supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.
•If the crash zone sensor is subjected to shock or the sensor is disassembled, the air bag modules and
pre-tensioner seat belts may operate (deploy) suddenly and cause injury, or it may fail to operate
normally and cause a serious accident. Do not subject the crash zone sensor to shock or disassemble
the sensor.
•Because a sensor is built into the crash zone sensor, when the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat
belts operates (deploys), there may be a problem, such as an internal malfunction, even if there is not
any external damage or deformation. If the crash zone sensor is reused, the air bag modules and pre-
tensioner seat belts may fail to operate normally and cause a serious injury. Always replace the crash
zone sensor with a new part. The crash zone sensor cannot be bench-checked or self-checked.
