DISABLE PROCEDURE AND TIME (Always Check Service Manual)

Before doing any SRS repairs, check the DTCs for the less obvious deployed components (seat belt tensioners, front impact sensors, side airbag sensors, etc.).

Make sure you have the anti-theft code(s) for the audio system and/or the audio-navigation system (if equipped).

Before disconnecting the SRS unit connectors, always disconnect the appropriate SRS parts connectors.

1. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0), or the vehicle ignition in the OFF mode.
2. Disconnect and isolate the negative cable from the battery.
3. Wait at least 3 minutes before starting work
