RELEASE METHOD OF ACTIVATION PREVENTION MECHANISM










a. The activation prevention mechanism is built into the connector for the squib circuit of the SRS. As explained later, during troubleshooting, insert a piece of paper with the same thickness as the male terminal between the terminal and the short spring to release it (Refer to illustrations).

CAUTION: Never release the activation prevention mechanism on the squib connector.

NOTE:
- Do not release the activation prevention mechanism unless specially directed by the troubleshooting procedure.
- To prevent the terminal and the short spring from becoming damaged, always use a piece of paper with the same thickness as the male terminals.
