Question

Accepted Answer

Within this vehicle there exists a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) that incorporates various Air Bags alongside sensors. Service work should only begin 90 seconds after turning off the ignition switch and disconnecting the negative terminal because SRS components may deploy otherwise. Begin the ECU occupant classification initialization procedure any time the unit needs replacement or new accessories get installed or when removing and reinstalling the passenger seat or when the Air Bag indicator appears without an occupant or after an accident event. Additionally avoid exposing SRS components to hot sources and open flames. Prior to battery disconnect you should check for DTCs while following with an inspection of SRS components after all minor accidents. The use of SRS components from different vehicles or the dismantling of parts constitutes a safety violation along with the need to replace components that drop or sustain damage. Electrical troubleshooting requires an ohmmeter/voltmeter with a minimum impedance of 10 kOhms/V which should be used with care according to attached information labels. A proper check of the SRS warning light should be performed after all work on SRS systems is finished. Memory settings need to be recorded right before disconnecting the negative battery terminal since the terminal clearance will happen. The settings require resetting once work completion occurs. The replacement of sensors or door adjustments must wait for 90 seconds after the disconnecting of the negative (-) terminal. Sensors need to be installed before wiring connector connections take place or when removing connectors and dropped sensors are prohibited. Testing DTCs follows Air Bag deployment and requires new sensor replacement after detecting Air Bag malfunction. The high reliability yellow SRS connectors include protective features against accidental connection mistakes. Certain procedures define the manner of steering pad, front passenger Air Bag, curtain shield Air Bag, front seat side Air Bag and center Air Bag sensor connector disconnection as well as connection activities which require secure attachment and audible confirmation of correct contact.
