SAS Control Module: Handling
- When connecting or disconnecting the SAS control module connector, a person charged with static electricity could accidentally operate (deploy) each air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt. Before connecting or disconnecting the SAS control module connector, discharge any charged static electricity from your body.
- Removing the SAS control module or disconnecting the SAS control module connector with the ignition ON can activate the sensor in the SAS control module and operate (deploy) the air bags, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt, which may cause serious injury. Before removing the SAS control module or disconnecting the SAS control module connector, always switch the ignition off, disconnect the negative battery cable, and then wait for 1 min or more to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.
- Connecting the SAS control module connector with the SAS control module not securely fixed to the vehicle is dangerous. The sensor in the SAS control module could send an electrical signal to the air bag modules, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt. This will operate (deploy) the air bags, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt, which may result in serious injury. Therefore, before connecting the connector, securely fix the SAS control module to the vehicle.
