Special Tools Required
SRS Short Canceller 070AZ-SAA0100
NOTE:
- To prevent damage to the connector cavity, insert an SRS short canceller straight into the cavity from the terminal side.
- Before installing an SRS short canceller, wash it with electrical contact cleaner, then dry it with compressed air.
- Do not use an SRS short canceller if it is damaged.
- Make sure to remove an SRS short canceller before reconnecting the SRS unit connector.
- Some systems store data in memory that is lost when the 12 volt battery is disconnected. Before disconnecting the 12 volt battery, refer to 12 Volt Battery Terminal Disconnection and Reconnection .
When SRS unit connectors A (43P) and B (57P) are disconnected, short circuits are automatically created in the connector to prevent accidental deployment of an airbag. The circuit may need to be opened sometimes when diagnosing the system. Insert an SRS short canceller in the specified cavities when necessary to keep the circuit open for diagnosis.
Terminal numbers are shown on the terminal side of the female terminals. Insert the SRS short canceller(s) into the cavities on the terminal side of the connector.
