danger After disconnecting the battery cable, wait 60 seconds or more before proceeding with the following work. In addition, insulate the negative battery terminal with a tape. The condenser inside the SRS-ECU is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short time even after the battery has been disconnected, so serious injury may result from unintended air bag deployment if work is done on the SRS system immediately after the battery cables are disconnected.

caution
  • The SRS components and seat belt with pre-tensioner should not be subjected to heat, so remove the SRS-ECU, driver’s and front passenger’s air bag modules, clock spring, side-airbag modules, and seat belt pre-tensioner before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.

    • SRS-ECU, air bag modules, clock spring, impact sensors: 93°C or more
    • Seat belt with pre-tensioner: 90°C or more
  • Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, always erase the diagnosis code and check warning lamp operation to make sure that the system functions properly.
  • If checks are carried out by using the SRS-ECU harness connector, observe the following procedures: Insert the special tool probe in the harness set (MB991222) into connector from harness side (rear side), and connect the tester to this probe. If any tool than special tool is used, damage to the harness and other components will result. Never insert the probe directly to the terminals from the front of the connector. The terminals are plated to increase their conductivity, so that if they are touched directly by the probe, the plating may break, which will cause drops in reliability.
