Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

General Precautions

General Precautions:




TESTING
Use only a digital multimeter (KS-AHM-32-003) to check the system. Using an analog circuit tester may cause an accidental deployment and possible injury.

Except when performing electrical inspections, always disconnect both the negative cable and positive cable at the battery before beginning work.


REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replacement of the combination light and wiper/washer switches and cruise control switch can be done without removing the steering wheel.

Do not install used SRS parts from another car. When marking SRS repairs, use only new parts.

Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation:
- Airbag assembly.
- Dash sensors.
- Cable reel.
- SRS unit.
