Release Method of Activation Prevention Mechanism

NOTE:
If the ignition switch is turned ON with the airbag sensor assembly connectors disconnected, or if a vehicle battery is removed with the ignition switch ON, the system will determine this condition as a failure and it will automatically call the call center. When an accidental call is made automatically, access to the call center and ask them to cut off the line.

To prevent this, perform the following when working on operation related to the airbag sensor assembly or battery:
- Disconnect the connectors of the mayday ECU and the back-up battery before disconnecting the airbag sensor assembly connector.
- Be sure that the ignition switch is OFF when removing a vehicle battery.
- If not signal has been received from the airbag sensor assembly since the ignition switch was turned ON, a service call will be made.
- If good signal reception from the airbag sensor assembly after the ignition switch ON is interrupted, an emergency call will be made.

RELEASE METHOD OF AIRBAG ACTIVATION PREVENTION MECHANISM

Part 1:

Part 2:

An airbag activation prevention mechanism is built into the connector for the squib circuit of the SRS.
When release of the airbag activation prevention mechanism is directed in the troubleshooting procedure, as shown in the illustration of the connectors, insert paper which has the same thickness as the male terminal between the terminal and the short spring.

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

NOTE:
- Do not release the airbag activation prevention mechanism unless specifically directed by the troubleshooting procedure.
- If the inserted paper is too thick the terminal and short spring may be damaged, so always use paper with the same thickness as the male terminal.
