REMOVAL
CAUTION:
Before servicing, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery terminal and wait at least 3
minutes.
Do not use air tools or electric tools for servicing.
Always work from the side of air bag module. Do not work from the front of it.
Leave the curtain air bag module with air bag deployment side facing upward.
Do not make an impact to the air bag module by dropping etc. Replace the air bag module if it has
been dropped or sustained an impact.
1. Remove the curtain air bag module.
Remove the headlining. Refer to EI-52, "HEADLINING" .
Remove the side curtain air bag module connector.
NOTE:
For installing / removing side curtain air bag module con-
nector, insert thin screwdriver wrapped in tape into notch,
lift lock and remove connector.
Install connector with lock raised, and push lock into con-
nector.
After installing the connector, make sure that the lock is
pushed securely into it.

CAUTION:
Before servicing, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery terminal and wait at least 3
minutes.
Before disconnecting the air bag sensor unit harness connector, be sure to disconnect the each
harness connector of the air bag module and pre-tensioner seatbelt to prevent air bag deployment
by static electricity and pre-tensioner seatbelt operation.
Do not use air tools or electric tools for servicing.
Do not use old fixing bolts after removal; replace with new bolts.
Do not make an impact to the diagnosis sensor unit by dropping etc. Replace the diagnosis sen-
sor unit if it has been dropped or sustained an impact.
Replace the diagnosis sensor unit of deployed SRS air bag and deployed SRS front seat belt pre-
tensioner.
1. Remove the diagnosis sensor unit.
Disconnect each connector of all air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts.
Remove the center console assembly. Refer to IP-10, "INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY" .
Disconnect diagnosis sensor unit harness connector.
Remove hex bolts and ground bolt, then remove the diagno-
sis sensor unit.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the diagnosis sensor harness.
After the work is completed, make sure no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning
lamp.
In case that malfunction is detected by the air bag warning lamp, reset by the self-diagnosis func-
tion and delete the memory by CONSULT
ll.
In case that malfunction is still detected after the above operation, perform self-diagnosis to repair
malfunctions. Refer to SRS-19, "
