Observe these precautions when working with air bag systems:
- Always disable SRS before performing any air bag repairs. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
- Before disconnect battery cable(s) and disabling air bag system, obtain radio security code from vehicle owner.
- Always ensure radio is off before disconnecting battery. This will prevent damage to radio microprocessor.
- Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed air bag module and/or seat belt tensioners. Air bag module and/or seat belt tensioners may contain sodium hydroxide deposits, which irritate skin.
- Use caution when handling sensors. Never strike or jar sensors. All sensors and mounting bracket bolts must be tightened carefully to ensure proper sensor operation.
- Never apply power to SRS if any SRS crash sensor is not securely mounted to vehicle.
- Never make any measurement directly on air bag module(s) or seat belt tensioners.
- Wiring repairs should not be performed on any portion of SRS wiring harness.
- Always handle air bag modules with trim cover away from your body. Always place air bag module on workbench with trim cover facing up, away from loose objects.
