23. Verify that the inside of the vehicle and the area
surrounding the vehicle are clear of all people and
loose or flammable objects.
24. Stretch the driver and passenger deploymen
t
harness to their full length.
25. Completely cover windshield area and front doo
r
window openings with a drop cloth, blanket or
similar item. This reduces the possibility of injury
due to possible fragmentation of the vehicle's
glass or interior.
26. Notify all people in the immediate area that you
intend to deploy the air bags. The deployment will
be accompanied by a substantial noise which ma
y
startle the uninformed.
27. Separate the two ends of the driver deploymen
t
harness wires.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT WIRES SHALL REMAIN
SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO A
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO THE
POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
FINAL STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas
expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deplo
y
the air bags.
28. Connect the driver deployment harness wires to a
power source to immediately deploy the driver ai
r
bag assembly. Recommended application: 12
volts minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle
battery is suggested.
29. Separate the two ends of the passenge
r
deployment harness wires.

30.Connect the passenger deployment harness wires
to a power source to immediately deploy the
passenger air bag assembly. Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum.
A vehicle battery is suggested.(Driver air bag
assembly) Put on a pair of shop gloves and safet
y
glasses to protect your hands and eyes from
possible irritation and heat when handling the
deployed air bag assembly. After an air bag
assembly has been deployed, the surface of the
air bag may contain a powdery residue. This
powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to
lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by products o
f
the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust
(similar to 30. lye soap) is produced as a b
y
product of the deployment reaction. The sodium
hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric
moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate
and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore,
it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present
after deployment.(Passenger air bag assembly)
The passenger inflator requires no special
precaution after deployment. 95% of the
particulate emission are potassium chloride (KLC),
which is commonly sold as an edible salt-
substitutes. even if water is applied. Post
deployment products are relatively pH neutral.
Disposing the inflator by burying it in a landfill will
not products any hazardous products. As with an
y
dusty environment, safety goggles, dust mask and
gloves should be worn.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AI
R
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE
METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY
METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE
HOT DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN FIRE O
R
PERSONAL INJURY.
After an air bag assembly has been deployed, the
metal canister and surrounding areas of the ai
r
bag assembly will be very hot. Do not touch the
metal areas of the air bag assembly for about 30
minutes after deployment. If the deployed air bag
assembly must be moved before it is cool, wea
r
gloves and handle by the air bag or trim cover.
31. Short the driver deployment harness wires b
y
twisting together one end from each. Repeat this
procedure for the passenger deployment harness.
32. Carefully remove drop cloth from vehicle and clean
off any fragments or discard drop cloth entirely.
33. Disconnect driver deployment harness and
passenger deployment harness from vehicle and
discard.

Service Precautions for SRS
Component Service
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. If a fastener needs to be
replaced, use the correct part number fastener fo
r
that application. If the correct part number
fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size
and strength (or stronger) may be used. fasteners
that are not reused, and those requiring thread
locking compound will be called out. The correct
torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. If the above conditions
are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON O
R
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
REPAIRS.
The SRS control unit in Driver–Passenger SRS can
maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for
up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse
powering the SRS control unit is removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time
period to expire.
Disabling The SRS
Removal
Turn the ignition switch to “OFF” and turn the steering
wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight
ahead.
1. Remove SRS fuse “SRS” from left dash side lowe
r
fuse block or disconnect battery.
2. Disconnect yellow connector at the base o
f
steering column.
3. Remove glove box assembly; Refer to “Passenge
r
air bag assembly replacement” in this section.
4. Disconnect passenger air bag assembly yello
w
connector behind the glove box assembly.
CAUTION: With the “SRS” fuse removed and
ignition switch “ON,” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
will be “ON.” This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction.
Enabling The SRS
Installation
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Connect yellow connector passenger air bag
assembly.
2. Install glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenge
r
Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in this section.
3. Connect yellow connector at the base of the
steering column.
4. Install “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to left dash side
lower fuse block or connect battery.
Turn ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp flashes seven times and then
turns “OFF.” If it does not operate as described,
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this
section.
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 65
C (150
F).
2. Air bag assembly, and SRS control unit should not
be used if they have been dropped from a height
of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more.
3. When a SRS control unit is replaced, it must be
oriented with the arrow on the SRS control unit
pointing toward the front of the vehicle. It is ver
y
important for the SRS control unit to be located flat
on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle
datum line. It is important that the SRS control unit
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign
material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all
components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble
code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures ma
y
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacements.
Inspections Required After An Accident
CAUTION: Certain SRS components must be
replaced after a frontal crash involving air bag
deployment.
In all types of accidents regardless of “Air Bag”
deployment, visually inspect all of the following
components and replace as required:
