General Precautions

General Precautions






1. Carefully inspect any airbag pant before installing. Do not install any part that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.







2. Always remove the key from the starter switch before beginning work.







3. Always disconnect both the negative '-' cable and positive '+' cable at the battery before removal of driver or passenger airbag modules. Disconnect the negative cable first.


CAUTION: The airbag system has sufficient stored energy to deploy airbags for up to 20 minutes


4. To continue work immediately, disconnect the driver's airbag and passenger's airbag (where fitted).
5. Do not try to dismantle the airbag module. There are NO separately serviceable parts. Once an airbag has been deployed, it cannot be repaired or reused.
6. Do not install used airbag parts from another vehicle. When repairing, use only new airbag parts.







7. Do not use electrical test equipment on the airbag harness or connectors. Tampering with or disconnecting the harness could result in accidental firing of the airbag or make the system inoperative, which may result in serious injury
8. An airbag system fault can only be diagnosed using TestBook.
9. The airbag module contains Sodium Azide which is poisonous and extremely flammable. Contact with water, acid or heavy metals may produce harmful or explosive compounds. Do not dismantle, incinerate or bring into contact with electricity.
