SAS Control Module Handling
- Installing a connected SAS control module is dangerous. Movement generated during installation can cause the crash sensor inside the control module to send an electrical signal to the air bag modules. This will deploy the air bag modules, which may result in serious injury. Therefore, before connecting the SAS control module, firmly mount the control module to the vehicle.
- Disconnecting the SAS control module connector or removing the SAS control module with the ignition switch ON can cause the air bag modules to deploy, which may seriously injure you. Before disconnecting the SAS control module connector or removing the SAS control module, turn the ignition switch to LOCK, then disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 minute to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.
- Once an air bag is deployed due to an accident or other causes, the SAS control module must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any external signs of damage. The used SAS control module may have been damaged internally which may cause improper operation, resulting in major injuries or even death. The used SAS control module cannot be bench-checked or self-checked..

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
