Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit or the side impact sensors whenever the ignition switch is ON (II), or at least for three 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 and the side impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, replace the SRS unit. After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the side impact sensor on the side where the side airbag deployed and the SRS unit. After a collision in which the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit and the side impact sensors. If there is any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the side impact sensors.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit or the side impact sensors.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, and disconnect the connectors from the SRS unit.
Be sure the SRS unit and side impact sensors are installed securely with the mounting bolts torqued to 9.8 Nm (1.0 kg.m, 7.2 lb.ft)
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors and keep them away from dust.
Store the SRS unit and the side impact sensors in a cool (less than 104°F / 40°C) and dry (less than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
