Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Sensor Inspection

CAUTION: Take extra care when painting or doing body work on any part of the dashboard lower panel. Avoid direct exposure of the sensors or wiring to heat guns, welding, or spraying equipment.

AWARNING
•   Disconnect both the negative and positive battery cables.
•   Install the short connector before working around the dashboard lower panel or the SRS sensors.

• After any degree of frontal body damage, inspect both dash sensors. Replace a sensor if it is dented, cracked, or deformed.

•   Be sure the sensors are installed securely.

Wiring Precautions

•   Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.
NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer protective covering.

•   Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched or interfering with other car parts.

• Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-tometal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to diagnose.
