Warning! Some of the vehicles discussed in this manual are equipped with an additional security system (SRS), better known as an airbag. Before doing any work near the cushion or steering column assembly, be sure to turn off the system to avoid injury from accidental operation - disconnect the battery first negative, then the positive cable and wait at least two minutes before proceeding to maintenance of components located near directional g-force sensors (see Onboard electrical equipment). The insulation and connectors of the SRS wiring harness are bright yellow. Do not connect any diagnostic devices to this circuit!
