NOTE: Some systems store data in memory that is lost
when the battery is disconnected. Before disconnecting
the battery, refer to Battery Terminal Disconnection and
Reconnection (see page 22-68).
 Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait at least 3
minutes before starting installation or replacement of
the SRS unit, or disconnecting the connectors from
the SRS unit.
 Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, the front impact sensors, the side impact sensors, or the
rear safing sensor whenever the ignition switch is in
ON (II), or for at least 3 minutes after the ignition
switch is turned to LOCK (0).
 During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area
around the SRS unit, the front impact sensors, the
side impact sensors, or the rear safing sensor. The
airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage
or injury.  After a collision where the front airbag, the side
airbag, or a the seat belt tensioner, the seat belt
buckle tensioner deployed, go to Component
Replacement/Inspection after Deployment (see page
24-185). After a collision where an airbag did not
deploy, inspect for any damage or any deformation
on the SRS unit, the front impact sensors, the side
impact sensors, or the rear safing sensor. If there is
any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the sensors.
 Do not disassemble the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, driver’s seat position
sensor, front passenger’s weight sensors or rear
safing sensor.
 Always install the SRS unit, driver’s seat position sensor, and all impact sensors and the rear safing
sensor securely with new TORX bolts torqued to 9.8
N·m (1.0 kgf·m, 7.2 lbf·ft).
 Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the any of the sensors, and keep them away from dust.

have dual inflators. The like color wires go to the
individual inflators.
3. Package the component in exactly the same
packaging that the new replacement part came in.
4. Mark the outside of the box DAMAGED AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED, DAMAGED SIDE AIRBAG NOT
DEPLOYED, DAMAGED SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG
