  Description and Operation  
 

WARNING:

  • A NEW ECS MODULE MUST BE INSTALLED IF THE AIR BAG MODULES HAVE DEPLOYED.
  • THE ECS ORIENTATION IS CRITICAL FOR CORRECT SYSTEM OPERATION. IF A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH AN SRS SYSTEM HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN WHICH THE CENTER TUNNEL AREA HAS BEEN DAMAGED, INSPECT THE MOUNTING AND BRACKET FOR DEFORMATION. IF DAMAGED, A NEW ECS MUST BE INSTALLED WHETHER OR NOT THE AIR BAG MODULES HAVE DEPLOYED. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THE AREA OF THE SENSOR MOUNTING IS RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION.

The SRS contains two sensors which are contained in the ECS. The ECS is mounted on the center tunnel under the instrument panel.
