Passenger's (Front) Air Bag Module: Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Never measure circuit resistance in the air bag modules (squib) even with the specified tester. Measuring the circuit resistance with a tester causes accidental air bag deployment due to current that flows or static, resulting in serious personal injury.
- When replacing the parts, discard the old parts after deploying the air bag according to the specified procedure (Refer to AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES ).
If any malfunction is found in the following inspections, replace the air bag module with a new one.
- Check the harness and connector for damage and the terminal for deformation.
- Check the air bag inflator cases for dents, cracks or deformation.
- Check the air bag module for proper installation.
