SRS Unit, Front and Side Impact Sensors, Rear Safing Sensor, Driver's Seat Position Sensor, and Front Passenger's Weight Sensors
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.
NOTE:
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 (see
12 VOLT BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION
).
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), disconnect the negative cable from the 12 volt battery, then wait at least 3 minutes before beginning 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, front impact sensors or side impact sensors when the ignition switch is at ON (II), or for at least 3 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0).
- During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the SRS unit, front impact sensors or side impact sensors. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
- After a collision where a front airbag, side airbags, side curtain airbags, or a seat belt tensioner deployed, go to Component Replacement/Inspection after Deployment (see COMPONENT REPLACEMENT/INSPECTION AFTER DEPLOYMENT ). After a collision where the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit, front impact sensors and side impact sensors. Replace all damaged parts.
- Do not disassemble the SRS unit, front impact sensors and side impact sensors.
- Be sure the SRS unit, front impact sensors and side impact sensors are installed securely with the mounting bolts torqued to 9.8 N.m (1.0 kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.ft) whenever you remove or replace the SRS unit, all impact sensors, always install the components with new TORX bolts.
- Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors.
