PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system
service. Observe the instructions described in this information, or the airbags could
accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch
OFF, disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least 3
minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The SRS memory is not erased even if the ignition

5. Use replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards and
quality as the original parts. Do not install used SRS parts. Use only new parts
when making SRS repairs.
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.

6. Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda
multimeter, make sure its output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to
the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output could
cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
The original radio and navigation system have a coded theft protection circuit.
Be sure to get the customer's anti-theft codes and write down the frequencies
for the radio's preset stations before disconnecting the battery negative cable.
Before returning the vehicle to the customer, enter the radio code, the
navigation code, then enter the customer's audio presets, and set the clock.
STEERING-RELATED PRECAUTIONS
Cable Reel Alignment
Misalignment of the cable reel could cause an open in the wiring, make the
SRS system remote steering wheel controls and the horn inoperative. Center
the cable reel whenever the following is performed (see step 6 in
Installation ).
- Installation of the steering wheel
- Installation of the cable reel
- Installation of the steering column
- Other steering-related adjustment or installation
Do not disassemble the cable reel.
Do not apply grease to the cable reel.
If the cable, reel shows any signs of damage, replace it with a new one. For
example, if it does not rotate smoothly, replace the cable reel.
AIRBAG HANDLING AND STORAGE
Do not disassemble an airbag. It has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has been
deployed, it cannot be repaired or reused.
For temporary storage of an airbag during service, observe the following
precautions.

WIRING PRECAUTIONS
Some of the SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer covering, and the
SRS connectors can be identified by their yellow color. Observe the instructions.
Never attempt to modify, splice, or repair SRS wiring. If there is an open or
damage in SRS wiring or terminals, replace the harness.
