Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on the intensity, speed or angles of impact of the front collision.
Side air bags
Side air bags (side impact and/or curtain air bags) are designed to inflate when an impact is detected by side collision sensors depending on the strength, speed or angles of impact resulting from a side impact collision.
Although the front air bags (driver’s and front passenger’s air bags) are designed to inflate only in frontal collisions, they also may inflate in other types of collisions if the front impact sensors detect a sufficient impact. Side air bags (side impact and/or curtain air bags) are designed to inflate only in side impact collisions, but they may inflate in other collisions if the side impact sensors detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by bumps or objects on unimproved roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully on unimproved roads or on surfaces not designed for vehicle traffic to prevent unintended air bag deployment.
Inspection
1.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2.
Disconnect the HO2S connector.
3.
Measure resistance between the HO2S terminals 4 and
5 [B1/S1].

Replacement
Standard values, such as torques and certain adjustments, must be strictly
observed in the reassembly of all parts.If removed, the following
parts should always be replaced with new ones.
...
Removal Of Parts
First find the cause of the problem and then determine whether removal or
disassembly before starting the job.
