WARNING:
Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
Before disconnecting the air bag diagnosis sensor unit harness connector, be sure to disconnect each harness connector of the air bag modules, seat belt pre-tensioners and lap pre-tensioner to prevent air bag deployment by static electricity and seat belt pre-tensioner operation.
Never use air tools or electric tools for servicing (prevents the air bag diagnosis sensor unit from activating unexpectedly due to vibration).
