TECHNICIAN SAFETY INFORMATION

Precautions for SRS "Air Bag" Service



- SRS sensors must always be installed with their arrow marks "<-" facing the front of the vehicle for proper operation.

- Also check sensors for cracks, deformities or rust before installation and replace as required.

- The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.

- Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function.

- If front of vehicle is damaged in a collision, always check the crash zone sensor and the wiring harness.

- After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced.
