PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL REAR AIRBAG SENSOR

(a) Check that the ignition switch is off.

(b) Check that the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(c) Insert the pin (stopper) into the body hole and install the rear airbag sensor with the nut. Torque: 9 N·m {92 kgf·cm, 80 in·lbf} NOTICE: If the rear airbag sensor has been dropped, or there are any cracks, dents or other defects in the case or connector, replace it with a new one. When installing the rear airbag sensor, be careful that the SRS wiring does not interfere with or is not pinched between other parts. Make sure that the pin (stopper) is securely inserted into the body hole. Tighten the nut while holding the rear airbag sensor because the rear airbag sensor pin (stopper) is easily damaged.

NOTICE:

When connecting the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

(1) Connect the connector as shown in the illustration (when locking, make sure that the outer connector locking sleeve returns to its original position and a click sound can be heard).
