SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

id081000801400

Warning

•  Handling the SAS control module improperly can accidentally deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belt, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings and cautions before handling the air bag module. (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS.) (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS.)

•  Connecting the SAS control module with the SAS control module not securely fixed to the vehicle is dangerous. When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SAS control module could tilt causing the SAS control module to detect that the vehicle is in a rollover condition, which may accidentally operate (deploy) the curtain air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt. Therefore, before turning the ignition switch to the ON position with the connector connected, securely fix the SAS control module to the vehicle.

•  If the DSC/RSC sensor initialization procedure is not completed, it could result in an unexpected accident due to the DSC/RSC being inoperative. Therefore, after the SAS control module is replaced, always perform the DSC/RSC sensor initialization procedure to ensure proper DSC/RSC operation. (See DSC/RSC SENSOR INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE.)

Caution

•  Handling the SAS control module improperly can accidentally deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belt, which may seriously injure you. If configuration is not completed before removing the SAS control module, DTC B2477 will be displayed.
