■ WARNING ■

- Before servicing, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect battery negative terminal and wait 3 minutes or more.
- Before disconnecting the diagnosis sensor unit harness connector, always disconnect each harness connector of the air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt to prevent air bag deployment by static electricity and pre-tensioner seat belt operation.
- Never use the air tools or electric tools for servicing.
- When replacing the air bag diagnosis sensor unit, always check with the parts department for the latest parts information. Installing an incorrect air bag diagnosis sensor unit may or may not cause the air bag warning lamp to illuminate and may cause incorrect deployment of the supplemental air bags and seat belt pre-tensioners in a collision resulting in serious personal injury or death.

REMOVAL

1.Always check the air bag diagnosis sensor unit ECU discriminated number (identification number) using CONSULT-III.

2.Disconnect the each harness connector for air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner.

3.Remove the rear console assembly. Refer to Exploded View.

4.Disconnect the diagnosis sensor unit harness connector.

5.Remove the TORX bolts and the ground bolt, and then remove the diagnosis sensor unit.

■ CAUTION ■

- Never impact the diagnosis sensor unit.
- Replace the diagnosis sensor unit if it is dropped or sustains an impact.
- Replace the diagnosis sensor unit of deployed SRS air bag and deployed SRS front seat belt pretensioner.

INSTALLATION
Install air bag diagnosis sensor unit in the reverse order of removal.
■ CAUTION ■

- Never use the old TORX bolts after removal, replace with the new TORX bolts.
- If malfunction is detected by the air bag warning lamp, after repair or replacement of the malfunctioning parts, reset the memory using self-diagnosis or CONSULT-III. Refer to CONSULT-III Function.
- After the work is completed, check that no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning lamp.
- After replacing the air bag diagnosis sensor unit, confirm using CONSULT-III that the ECU discriminated number (identification number) of the new replacement air bag sensor unit matches the ECU discriminated number (identification number) of the replaced (old) air bag diagnosis sensor unit.

NOTE：
If the ECU discriminated number of the new replacement air bag diagnosis sensor unit differs from the ECU discriminated number of the replaced air bag diagnosis sensor unit, reconfirm the parts information and verify that the correct air bag diagnosis sensor unit was installed.
