Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components, such as connectors and terminals.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals. Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
