HANDLING AND STORAGE
SDM
WARNING:
Never power up air bag system when SDM is not rigidly at-
tached to the vehicle. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
CAUTION:
After detecting one time of such collision as to meet deploy-
ment conditions, the SDM must not be used.
Refer to ªDiagnosisº when checking the SDM.
Never attempt disassembly of SDM.
When storing SDM, select a place where neither high tempera-
ture nor high humidity is anticipated and oil, water and dust are
kept off.
If SDM was dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 ft) or more or if it
is found to be damaged or deformed, replace it with a new one.
If installation part of SDM was damaged, repair that part com-
pletely before reinstallation.
All SDM and mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully
torqued and the arrow must be pointed toward the front of the ve-
hicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.

DEPLOYED AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULES
WARNING:
The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deploy-
ment is very hot. Wait for at least 30 minutes to cool it off
before proceeding the work.
Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator)
module.
After an air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the
surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This
powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubri-
cate the bag as it inflates) and byproducts of the chemical
reaction. As with many service procedures, gloves and
safety glasses should be worn.
Wash your hands with mild soap and water after complet-
ing the work.
Refer to the procedure described under ªDeployed Air Bag (Inflator)
Modules Disposalº in this section.
ACTIVATED SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS
WARNING:
The seat belt pretensioner immediately after activation is
very hot. Wait for at least 30 minutes to cool it off before
proceeding the work.
Do not apply water, oil, etc. to activated seat belt preten-
sioner.
With many service procedures, gloves and safety glasses
should be worn to prevent any possible irritation of the
skin or eyes.
Wash your hands with mild soap and water after complet-
ing the work.
Refer to the procedure described under ªActivated Seat Belt Pre-
tensioners Disposalº in this section.

ACCIDENT WITH OR WITHOUT DEPLOYMENT ± COM-
PONENT INSPECTIONS
Certain air bag and restraint system components must be in-
spected after any crash, whether the air bag deployed or not.
Those components are:
Steering column and shaft joints
± Check for length, damage and bend according to ªChecking
Steering Column for Accident Damageº in SECTION 3C1.
Steering column bracket and capsules
± Check for damage and bent.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
Steering wheel and driver air bag (inflator) module
± Check for damage or air bag (inflator) module fitness.
± Check trim cover (pad surface) for cracks.
± Check wire harness and connector for damage or tightness.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
Contact coil and combination switch assembly
± Check wire harness and connectors for damage or tightness.
± Check contact coil case for damage.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.
Instrument panel member and reinforcement
± Check for any distortion, bending, cracking or other damage.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.

self. (There is a gap between SDM and SDM plate, or it cannot
be fixed securely.)
± Check whether connector or lead wire of SDM has a scorching,
melting or damage.
± Check whether connector can be connected securely or locked.
± Check SDM connector and terminals for tightness.
± Check SDM sets a diagnostic trouble code and the diagnostic
table leads to a malfunctioning SDM.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.
Air bag wire harness and connections
± Check for damages, deformities or poor connections.
(Refer to ªIntermittent And Poor Connectionsº in this section.)
± Check wire harness clamps for tightness.
If any faulty condition is found, correct or replace.
