Connector Repair

Caution: This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause the following conditions:

   • Air bag deployment
   • Personal injury
   • Unnecessary SIR system repairs
In order to avoid the above conditions, observe the following guidelines:
   • Refer to SIR Component Views in order to determine if you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring.
   • If you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, disable the SIR system. Refer to Disabling the SIR System.

The terminals in the SIR are made of special metal to provide necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available only in connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs.

Wire Repair

Do not repair any wires of the supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR). Replace any damaged wires with new ones.
