WARNING! 
SDM
• For handling and storage of a SDM, select a place where the ambient temperature 
below 65  °C (150  °F), without high humidity 
and away from electric noise.
• During service procedures, be very careful  when handling a Sensing and Diagnostic 
Module (SDM). Never strike or jar the SDM.
• Never power up the air bag system when  the SDM is not rigidly attached to the 
vehicle. All SDM and mounting bracket 
fasteners must be carefully torqued and 
the arrow must be pointing toward the 
front of the vehicle to ensure proper 
operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered 
while not rigidly att ached to the vehicle 
which could cause deployment and result 
in personal injury.
 
WARNING! 
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt 
Pretensioners
• For handling and storage of a live seat belt  pretensioner, select a place where the 
ambient temperature below 65  °C (150 ° F), 
without high humidity and away from 
electric noise.
• Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire  or connector of pretensioner. When 
placing a live seat belt pretensioner on the 
workbench or some place like that, never 
put something on seat belt pretensioner. 
Otherwise, personal  injury may result.
• Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt  pretensioners (drive and passenger). If 
disposal is necessary, be sure to activate 
them according to activation procedures 
described in “Air Bag (Inflator) Module and 
Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal in Section 
8B” before disposal.
• The seat belt pretensioner immediately  after activation is very hot. Wait for at least 
half an hour to cool it off before 
proceeding the work.
• With many service procedures, gloves and  safety glasses should be worn to prevent 
any possible irritation of the skin or eyes.
 
• Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air bags to activate, be sure to inspect system 
parts and other related parts according to instructions 
under “Repair and Inspection Required after Accident 
in Section 8B”.
• When servicing parts other than air bag system, if  shocks may be applied to air bag system component 
parts, remove those parts beforehand.
• When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver,  passenger, side and curtain), seat belt pretensioners 
(driver and passenger), forward sensor, side sensors 
or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an impact to 
it. If an excessive impact was applied, never attempt 
disassembly or repair but replace it with a new one.
• When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got  onto air bag (inflator) modules (driver, passenger, side 
and curtain) or seat belt pretensioners (drive and 
passenger), wipe off immediately with a dry cloth.
• Air bag wire harness is included in floor and  instrument panel wire harnesses. Air bag wire 
harness branched off from floor and instrument panel 
wire harnesses can be identifie d easily as it is covered 
with a yellow protection tube and it has yellow 
connectors. Be very ca reful when handling it.
• When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire  harness, connector or terminal is found, replace wire 
harness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.
• Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all  components are connected or a diagnostic flow 
requests it, as this will set a DTC.
• Never use air bag system component parts from  another vehicle.
• When using electric welding, be sure to disconnect all  air bag (inflator) module connectors and pretensioner 
connectors from air bag wire harness respectively.
• Never expose air bag system component parts  directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after 
painting) or flames.
• WARNING / CAUTION labels  are attached on each 
part of air bag system components. Be sure to follow 
the instructions.
• After vehicle is completely repaired, perform “Air Bag  Diagnostic System Check in Section 8B”.

Electrical Circuit Inspection ProcedureS7RS0B0006001
While there are various electrical circuit inspection 
methods, described here is a general method to check 
its open and short circuit by using an ohmmeter and a 
voltmeter.
Open Circuit Check
Possible causes for the open  circuit are as follows. As 
the cause is in the connector or terminal in many cases, 
they need to be checked particularly carefully.
• Loose connection of connector
• Poor contact of terminal (due  to dirt, corrosion or rust 
on it, poor contact tension, entry of foreign object etc.)
• Wire harness being open
When checking system circuits including an electronic 
control unit such as ECM, TCM, ABS control module, 
etc., it is important to perfor m careful check, starting with 
items which are easier to check.
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable from battery
2) Check each connector at both ends of the circuit  being checked for loose connection. Also check lock 
condition of connector if equipped with connector 
lock. 3) Using a test male terminal
, check both terminals of 
the circuit being checked for contact tension of its 
female terminal. Check each  terminal visually for 
poor contact (possibly caused  by dirt, corrosion, rust 
entry of foreign object, etc.). At the same time, check 
to make sure that each te rminal is locked in the 
connector fully.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just for once.
