SAS Control Module Removal/Installation

WARNING:

Handling the SAS control module improperly can accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt, which may seriously injure you. Read the air bag system service warnings and cautions before handling the SAS control module. (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM - US/CANADA/ISRAEL SPEC.] .) (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM - US/CANADA/ISRAEL SPEC.] .)
If the connector is connected and the ignition switch is turned to the ON position with the SAS control module not secured completely using the installation nuts, the SAS control module may detect a degree of impact even when something contacts it lightly, deploying the air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt accidentally.

When replacing the SAS control module, perform the configuration to assure that the system operates correctly.

When replacing the SAS control module, perform the SAS control module configuration using the M-MDS. (Refer to [CONFIGURATION] in the service information.)
