Precautions/Procedures
General Precautions
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it,
Do not install any part that shows signs of being drop-
ped or improperly handled. such as dents, cracks or
deformstion:
- Airbags- Cable reel- SRS unit
' Use only a digital multimeter to check the system lf
it's not a Honda multimeter. make sure its output is
10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the smallest
value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher
output could damage the airbag circuit or cause acci-
dental deployment and possible injury.
r Do not install used SRS parts from anothercar.When
making SRS repairs, use only new parts.
r Except when performing electrical inspections,
always disconnect both the negative cable and posl-
tive cable from the batterY, and wait at least three
minutes before beginning work.
r Replacement of the combination light and wiper/
washer switches and cruise control switch can be
done without removing the steering wheel:
- Combination light and wiperlwasher switch replace-
ment (see page 23-268).- Cruise controi sevresume switch replacement (see
page 23-259t.
. Whenever the ignition switch is ON (ll), or has been
turned OFF for less than three minutes, be caretul not
to bump the SRS unit; the airbags could accidentally
deploy and cause damage or iniuries.
. Whenever the airbag has been activated, replace the
SRS unit.
. The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit.
Be sure to get the customer's code number beJore dis-
connecting the battery cables.

Airbag Handling and Storage
Do not try to disassemble the airbag. lt has no service-
able parts. Once an airbag has been operated
(deployed), it cannot be repaired or reused.
For temporary storage of the airbag during service,
please observe the following precautions:
. Store the removed airbag with the pad surface up.
The driver's and tront passenger's airbag connectors
have 8 built-in short contact (see page 23-284).
@ r the airbag is improp€rly storcd face down,
accidental deployment could propel the unit with enough
force to caus6 serious iniury.
AIRBAG CONNECTORS(Built-in short contact)
. Store the removed airbag on a secure flat surface
away from any high heat source (exceeding
212F110O'CI and free of any oil, grease, detergent or
water.
CAUTION: lmproper handling or storage can intornally
damags the airbag, making it inoperative.
1l you su3pocl the aitbag has been damaged, install a ncw
unit and rofEr to ths Deployment/Dilpolal Procedures for
dbposing of ihe damsged ailbag.
