SRS Unit, Front Sensors, and Side Impact Sensors

SRS Unit Precautions

- Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit whenever the ignition switch is ON (II), or for at least 3 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.




- During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the SRS unit. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.




- After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, replace the SRS unit and other related components. After a collision in which the airbags were not deployed, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit. If there is any damage, replace the SRS unit.
- Do not disassemble the SRS unit.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait at least 3 minutes before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, or disconnecting the 18P connector from the SRS unit.
- Be sure the SRS unit is installed securely with the mounting bolts torqued to 9.8 Nm (1.0 kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.ft).
- Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit, and keep it away from dust.
- Store the SRS unit in a cool (less than 104 °F/40 °C) and dry (less than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.
