Precautions/Procedures (SRS-Type III)

General Precautions

Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation:

- Airbag assemblies
- Cable reel
- SRS unit

Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it's not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the smallest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output could damage the airbag circuit or cause accidental deployment and possible injury.

Do not install used SRS parts from another car. When making SRS repairs, use only new parts.

Except when performing electrical inspections, always disconnect both the negative cable and positive cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.

Replacement of the combination light and wiper! washer switches can be done without removing the steering wheel:

Whenever the ignition switch is ON (II), or has been turned OFF for less than three minutes, be careful not to bump the SRS unit; the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.

Whenever the airbag has been activated, replace the SRS unit.

Airbag Handling and Storage

Do not try to disassemble the airbag assembly. It has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has been operated (deployed), it cannot be repaired or reused.

For temporary storage of the airbag assembly during service, please observe the following precautions:

Store the removed airbag assembly with the pad surface up.

WARNING If the airbag is improperly stored face down, accidental deployment could propel the unit with enough force to cause serious injury.

Store the removed airbag assembly on a secure flat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding ' 100°C/212°F) and free of any oil, grease, detergent or water.

CAUTION: Improper handling or storage can internally damage the airbag assembly, making it inoperative.

If you suspect the airbag assembly has been damaged, install a new unit and refer to the Deployment/Scrapping Procedures for disposing of the damaged airbag.
