GENERAL INFORMATION

03-21

WARNING: Do not use a multimeter or other 
general purpose test equipment on SRS system 
components or accidental deployment may 
occur. Use only Testbook to diagnose system 
faults.

SRS harnesses and connectors

Always observe the following precautions with 
regard to SRS systems:

l

Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS 
wiring. SRS wiring can be identified by a special 
yellow outer protective covering (black with 
yellow stripe protective coverings are 
sometimes used).

l

Never install electronic equipment (such as a 
mobile telephone, two way radio or in-car 
entertainment system) in such a way that it 
could generate electrical interference in the 
airbag harness. Seek specialist advice when 
installing such equipment.

CAUTION: Always ensure the SRS harness is 
routed correctly. Avoid trapping or pinching the 
SRS harness. Look out for possible chafing 
points.

CAUTION: Ensure all SRS harness connectors 
are mated correctly and securely fastened. Do 
not leave the connectors hanging loose.

CAUTION: Do not allow the airbag module to 
hang by the airbag harness.
