WARNING:

Before removing the SRS air bag system-related parts, always disconnect the negative lead-acid battery terminal and wait for 1 min or more to allow the back-up power supply to deplete its stored power.
Contact with the positive lead-acid battery terminal could cause electrocution due to a short circuit and result in serious injury or death, or damage to vehicle parts. Do not contact the positive lead-acid battery terminal when performing the procedure.

CAUTION:

If the nut for the current sensor is loosened with the negative lead-acid battery terminal connected to the lead-acid battery, excessive torque will be applied to the negative lead-acid battery terminal and the lead-acid battery terminal will be damaged. When removing the negative lead-acid battery terminal and current sensor, be careful not to damage the lead-acid battery terminal.
Be careful not to contact the positive lead-acid battery terminal.

Verify that the charge cable is not connected to the charging port.
