Air Bag Control Module: Service Precautions


- Be careful not to bump or impact the Supplemental Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) whenever the ignition switch is "ON".
- During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the SRSCM. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
- After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, replace the SRS unit. After a collision in which the airbags were not deployed, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRSCM. If there is any damage, replace the SRSCM.
- Do not disassemble the SRSCM.
- Turn the ignition switch "OFF", disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least 30 seconds before beginning installation or replacement of the SRSCM.
