REMOVAL
CAUTION:

Before servicing the SRS, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect both battery cables and wait at
least 3 minutes.
1. Disconnect the harness connectors for each air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner.
2. Remove center console. Refer to IP-10, "
INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY" .
3. Disconnect diagnosis sensor unit harness connectors.
4. Remove fixing bolts from the diagnosis sensor unit.
CAUTION:

Do not use old bolts; replace with new bolts.

Check diagnosis sensor unit bracket to ensure it is free of deformities, dents, cracks or rust. If it
shows any visible signs of damage, replace with new one.

Replace diagnosis sensor unit if it has been dropped or sustained an impact.
INSTALLATION
To install, reverse the removal procedure.

After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to check that no malfunction is detected. Refer to
SRS-20, "
SRS Operation Check" .
CAUTION:

The diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with the arrow mark "⇐" pointing toward the
front of the vehicle for proper operation.
ECU DISCRIMINATED NO.
After replacing the diagnosis sensor unit, confirm that the diagnosis sensor unit identification is correct for the
vehicle as equipped. Refer to SRS-18, "
CONSULT-II Function (AIR BAG)" .

SELF-DIAGNOSIS
CONSULT-II Setting Procedure
1. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
