2 never measure the resistance of the airbag squib

(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib.
(This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very
dangerous.)
(3) Grease should not be applied to the steering wheel
pad and the pad should not be cleaned with deter-
gents of any kind.
(4) Store the steering wheel pad where the ambient
temperature remains below 93 ° C (200 ° F), without
high humidity and away from electrical noise.
(5) When using electric welding, first disconnect the air-
bag connector (yellow color and 2 pins) under the
steering column near the combination switch con-
nector before starting work.
(6) When disposing of a vehicle or the steering wheel
pad alone, the airbag should be deployed using an
SST before disposal (See page RS–11 ).
Carry out the operation in a safe place away from
electrical noise.

(e) FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
(1) Always store a removed or new front passenger air-
bag assembly with the airbag deployment direction
facing up.
Storing the airbag assembly with the airbag deploy-
ment direction facing down could cause a serious
accident if the airbag inflates.
(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib.
(This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very
dangerous.)
(3) Grease should not be applied to the front passen-
ger airbag assembly and the airbag door should not
be cleaned with detergents of any kind.
(4) Store the airbag assembly where the ambient tem-
perature remains below 93 ° C (200 ° F), without high
humidity and away from electrical noise.
(5) When using electric welding, first disconnect the air-
bag connector (yellow color and 2 pins) installed on
the glove compartment finish plate at the left side of
the glove compartment before starting work.
(6) When disposing of a vehicle or the airbag assembly
alone, the airbag should be deployed using an SST
before disposal (See page RS–25 ).
Perform the operation in a safe place away from
electrical noise.

(f) AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
(1) Never reuse the airbag sensor assembly involved
in a collision when the SRS has deployed.
(2) The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly
should be connected or disconnected with the sen-
sor mounted on the floor. If the connectors are con-
nected or disconnected while the airbag sensor as-
sembly is not mounted to the floor, it could cause
undesired ignition of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem.
(3) Work must be started after 90 seconds from the
time the ignition switch is turned to the ”LOCK” posi-
tion and the negative (–) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery, even if only loosening the
set bolts of the airbag sensor assembly.
(g) WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
The SRS wire harness is integrated with the cowl wire har-
ness assembly and floor wire harness assembly. The
wires for the SRS wire harness are encased in a yellow
corrugated tube. All the connectors for the system are
also a standard yellow color. If the SRS wire harness be-
