Air Bag Module Handling

2023 Mazda CX-5 SSECTION Air Bag Module Handling
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  • Handing the air bag module before allowing the back-up power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power can accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag, pre-tensioner seat belt, and lap pre-tensioner seat belt, which may cause serious injury. 
  • Before removing the air bag module or disconnecting the air bag module connector, always switch the ignition off, disconnect the negative battery cable, and then wait for 1 min or more to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power. 
  • Handling a live (undeployed) air bag module that is pointed toward your body could result in serious injury if the air bag module were to accidentally operate (deploy). When carrying a live (undeployed) air bag module, point the deployment surface away from your body to lessen the chance of injury in case it operates (deploys).

  • A live (undeployed) air bag module placed with its deployment surface to ground is dangerous. If the air bag module were to accidentally operate (deploy), it could cause serious injury. Always place a live (undeployed) air bag module with its deployment surface up.
