Observe these precautions when working with air bag system:
- Disable SRS before servicing any SRS or steering column component. Failure to do this could result in accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
- Replace any air bag or seat belt pretensioner component dropped from a height greater than 12" (0.3 m).
- DO NOT probe air bag module connector with ohmmeter. Ohmmeter current can cause air bag to deploy.
- DO NOT expose air bag or seat belt pretensioner components to heat or flame, high humidity or electrical noise.
- Never disassemble or repair system components. Replace cracked, dented or otherwise damaged system components.
- When placing a live air bag on a bench or other flat surface, always face air bag trim cover up, away from surface. This will reduce motion of module if it is accidentally deployed.
- When carrying a live air bag module, trim cover must be pointed away from body to minimize injury in case of accidental air bag deployment.
- After deployment, air bag surface may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, which irritates skin. Always wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-up. After clean-up, wash hands using mild soap and water.
