GENERAL PROCEDURES
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deactivation and
Reactivation
Deactivation
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury
in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium
hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your
hands with soap and water afterwards.
WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air
bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
WARNING: Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be installed
new, not repainted.
WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only.
Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible
violation of vehicle safety standards.
1. WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the
backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air
bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing,
adjusting or striking components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors,
instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
Please refer to the appropriate vehicle shop manual to determine location of the front air
bag sensors.
The side air bag sensors are located at or near the base of the B- pillar.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and
wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped). SECTION 211-
