•When servicing a vehicle, be sure to turn the ig-
nition switch to OFF, disconnect the ground cable
from battery, and wait for more than 20 seconds
before starting work.
•The airbag system is fitted with a backup power
source. After disconnecting the battery ground ca-
ble, the airbag may deploy if you do not wait for
more than 20 seconds before starting the service of
airbag system.
•If the airbag warning light illuminates, repair the
vehicle immediately. Otherwise, the airbag or pre-

collision.
•If sensors, airbag module, airbag control module,
pretensioner or harness is deformed or damaged,
replace with new part.
•When checking the airbag system, be sure to
use a digital circuit tester. Use of an analog circuit
tester may cause the airbag to activate erroneously
due to a minimal current inside tester.
