Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install i t.Do no t ins ta l l any par t tha t shows s igns o f be ingdropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracksor deformation:

- Airbag assembly {driver's and front passenger's)

Airbag Handling and Storage

Do not try to disassemble the airbag assembly. lt has noserviceable parts. Once an airbag has been operated(deployed), it cannot be repaired or reuseo.

For temporary s to rage o f the a i rbag assembly dur ingservice, please observe the following precautions:

. Store the removed airbag assembly with the pad sur-face up.

!@ It the airbag is impropsrty stored facsdown, accidental deployment could propel the unit withenough force to cause setious iniury

Store the removed airbag assembly on a secure flatsufface away from any high heat source (exceeding212"Fl1OO'Cl and free of any oil. grease, detergent or

CAUTION: lmproper handling or storage can internallydamage the airbag assembly, making it inoperativ€.ll you suspect the airbag assembly has been damagod,install a new unit and rgler to the Deployment/DigposalProcedures lor disposing of the dsmaged airbag.

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

Do not install used SRS parts from another car. Whenmaking SRS repai.s, use only new pans.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRSIWiring Precautions

o Never attempt to modify. splice or repair SRS wiring.

NOTE: All SRS electrical wiring harnesses are coveredwith yellow insulation.

Be sure to install the harness wires so that they arenot pinched or interfering with other car pans.

Make sure a l l SRS ground loca t ions are c lean andgrounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittentproblems that are diff icult to diagnose.

Steering Column Removal

CAUTION:. Bofore romoving tho 3l6oring column, first discon'

. lf th6 stssring column is going to be removed with-out dbmounting the stesring wh6el, lock the sl6sr-ing by turning th€ ignition k.y to o-LOCK po3ition orremovo tha k€y llom ths ignilion so that th6 3loaringwheel will not turn.

Do no t rep lace the or ig ina l s teer ing whee i w i th anyother design, since it wil l make it impossible to properlyinstsll the airbag (only use genuine Honda replacementoans).

After reassemblv confirm that the wheels are sti l l turnedstraight ahead and that the steering wheel spoke angleis correct, lf minor spoke angle adjustment is necessary,do so only by adjustment of the tie-rods, not by remov-ing and repositioning the steering wheel.

Sensor Inspection

CAUTION: Tak€ €xtra care whon painting or doingbody work in the ar€a bslow th6 dalhboard.Avoid dirost exposure ot lh6 sonsors or wiring to hestguns, wolding, or spraying equipmont.

a Be sure the sensors are installed securelv,

Inspection After Deployment

After a coll ision in which the airbags were deployed.inspect the following:

1. Inspect the dash sensors for physical damage.lf the sensors are damaged, replace them.

2. Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses, ReDlace, don'trepair, any damaged harnesses.

3. Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. lf there isany damage. replace the cable reel.

4. After the car is completely repaired. turn the igni-tion switch on. lf the SRS indicator l ight comes onfor about six seconds and then goes off, the SRSsystem is OK. lf the indicator l ight does not functionproperly, go to SRS Troubleshooting (next page).

Self-diagnosis Function

The SRS unit includes a self-diagnosis function. lf thereis a failure in the sensors. SRS unit, inflator, or their cir-cu i ts , the SRS ind ica tor l igh t in the gauge sssemblycomes ON.

As a system check, the SRS indicator l ight also comeson when the ignition is f irst turned ON to the (l l) posi-tion. lf the l ight goes off after approximately six sec-onds, the system is OK.lf the SRS indicator l ighr remains on (or fails to come onin the system check mode), one of the SRS components(or the wiring/connectors inbetween) is laulty

Troubleshooting Precautionsa Always use the test harness. Do not use test probes

directly on component connector terminals or wires;you may damage them or the SRS unit.

a When connecting any of the test harnesses to thesystem, push the connectors straight-in; do not bendthe connector terminals,

. Before disconnecting any part of the SRS wire har-ness, connect the shon connector (RED) on the driv-er's airbag. On cars equipped with a front passen-ger's airbag, connect short connectors on the driver'sairbag and the front passenger's airbag.

SRS Indicator Light TroubleshootingPossiblo conditions:1. SRS indicator l ight does not come on at all - see

page 23-278.

2. SRS indicator l ight stays on constantly - see page23-242.

3. SRS indicator l ight comes on in combination with afailure of another electrical system (charging sys-tem l igh t ) . Check fo r damage/cor ros ion a t theunder-dash tuse/relay box connector.

NOTE:. Before starting the applicable troubleshooting. check

t h e c o n d i t i o n o f a l l S R S c o n n e c t o r s a n d g r o u n dpoints.

. lf the fault is not found after completing the applica-ble troubleshooting, substitute a known-good SRSunit and check whether the indicator l ight goes off.
