SRS Unit, Front and Side Impact Sensors, Driver's Seat Position Sensor, and Front Passenger's Weight Sensors
NOTE:
Some systems store data in memory that is lost when the battery is disconnected. Before disconnecting the battery, refer to Battery Terminal Disconnection and Reconnection
.
- Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait at least 3 minutes before starting installation or replacement of the SRS unit, or disconnecting the connectors from the SRS unit.
- Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, the front impact sensors, or the side impact sensors when the vehicle is in the ON mode, for at least 3 minutes after the engine start/stop button is pressed to select the OFF mode.
- Do not reconnect any connectors to the SRS unit until it is fully installed, including torquing the TORX bolts.
- During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the SRS unit, the front impact sensors, or the side impact sensors. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
- After a collision where the front airbags, the side airbags, the side curtain airbags, or the front seat belt tensioners deploy, go to Component Replacement/Inspection After Deployment . After a collision where the airbags do not deploy, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit, the front impact sensors, and the side impact sensors. If there is any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the sensors. Replace all damaged parts.
- Do not disassemble the SRS unit, the front impact sensors, the side impact sensors, the driver's seat position sensor, or the front passenger's weight sensors.
- Always install the SRS unit, driver's seat position sensor, and all impact sensors with the new TORX bolts to the specified torque.
- Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or any of the sensors.
