2023 Mazda CX-5 SSECTION SAS Control Module Removal/Installation [Two-Step Deployment Control System]
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.
WARNING:
- Handling the SAS control module or air bag module improperly can accidentally deploy the air bag modules, pre-tensioner seat belts and lap pre-tensioner seat belts which may seriously injure you. Read the air bag system service warnings and cautions before handling the air bag module. (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM] .) (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM] .)
- If the connector is connected and the ignition switch is turned to the ON position with the SAS control module not secured completely using the installation nuts, the SAS control module may detect a degree of impact even when something contacts it lightly, deploying the air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt accidentally.
- If the DSC sensor initialization is not completed after removing/installing the SAS control module, the DSC will not operate normally which could lead to an unexpected accident. After the SAS control module is removing/installing, always perform the DSC sensor initialization to ensure proper DSC operation.
- If the MRCC initial setting is not completed after removing/installing the SAS control module, the Mazda radar cruise control (MRCC) system will not operate normally which could lead to an unexpected accident. After removing/installing the SAS control module, always perform the MRCC initial setting to assure proper Mazda radar cruise control (MRCC) system operation.
- If configuration is not performed when the SAS control module is replaced with a new one, the vehicle specification information is not stored in the SAS control module and the system will not operate normally.
