WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Special Tools Required
SRS Short Canceller 070AZ-SAA0100
NOTE:
- To prevent damaging the connector cavity, insert the short canceller straight into the cavity from the terminal side.
- Before installing the short canceller, wash it with electrical contact cleaner, then dry it with compressed air.
- Do not use the short canceller if it is damaged.
- Make sure to remove the short canceller before reconnection.
- Some system 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 (see 12 VOLT BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ).
When SRS unit connectors A (39P) or B (39P) are disconnected, a short circuit is created in the connector by its own function to prevent an airbag deployment. The circuit may need to be open sometimes when diagnosis is done on the system. Insert the short canceller (070AZ-SAA0100) in the specified cavities when it is necessary to keep the circuit open for diagnosis.
Terminal numbers are shown from the wire side of the female terminals. Insert the short canceller(s) into the cavities on the terminal side of the connector.
