Front Seat Belt Removal/Installation [Two-Step Deployment Control System]
WARNING:
- Handling the front seat belt (pre-tensioner seat belt) or the side air bag sensor improperly can accidentally deploy the pre-tensioner or the side air bag module, which may seriously injure you. Read SERVICE WARNINGS before handling the front seat belt or working around the B-pillar areas. (See SERVICE WARNINGS and SERVICE CAUTIONS .)
NOTE:
- The side air bag sensor is located in the B-pillar.
CAUTION:
- The ELR has a spring that will unwind if the retractor's cover is removed. The spring cannot be rewound by hand. If this occurs, the ELR will not work properly. Therefore, do not disassemble the retractor.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK position.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more.
- Remove the B-pillar lower trim. (See B-PILLAR LOWER TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Remove in the order indicated in Fig 1.
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
- Verify that the air bag system warning light illuminates for approx. 6 s
and goes out.
- If the air bag system warning light does not operate in the manner described above, there are malfunctions in the system. Inspect the system using the on-board diagnostic function.
