SAS Control Module: Handling

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Mazda CX-30. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When connecting or disconnecting the SAS control module connector, a person charged with static electricity could accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts. Before connecting or disconnecting the SAS control module connector, discharge any charged static electricity from your body.
Removing the SAS control module or disconnecting the SAS control module connector with the ignition ON can activate the sensor in the SAS control module and operate (deploy) the air bags and pretensioner seat belts which may cause serious injury. Before removing the SAS control module or disconnecting the SAS control module connector, always switch the ignition off, disconnect the negative battery terminal, and then wait for 1 min or more to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.
Connecting the SAS control module connector with the SAS control module not securely fixed to the vehicle is dangerous. The sensor in the SAS control module could send an electrical signal to the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts. This will operate (deploy) the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts which may result in serious injury. Therefore, before connecting the connector, securely fix the SAS control module to the vehicle.
