Safing Sensor: Service Precautions

WARNINGS

- The electrical circuit necessary for system deployment is powered directly from the battery. To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the battery ground cable must be disconnected prior to servicing or replacing any system components.

- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag system is involved in a crash, inspect the sensor mounting brackets and wiring pigtail for deformation. If damaged, the sensor should be replaced whether or not the air bag is deployed. In addition, make sure that the body structure in the area of the sensor mounting is restored to its original condition to avoid personal injury.
