REMOVAL
WARNING:
The following service operations include the works which may affect the SRS airbag system. Before starting work, always be sure to confirm the precautions related to the SRS airbag system. (Refer to 
)
)1. Precautions
CAUTION:
After turning the ignition switch to OFF, you may have to wait for a while before disconnecting the battery terminals. Check appropriate precautions for battery terminal disconnection before proceeding. (Refer to )
)2. Disconnection of the battery ground terminal
(1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground terminal, and then wait for 60 seconds before starting the work. (Refer to )
)WARNING:
The air bag and pretensioner system are fitted with a backup power supply. If you start the work within 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery ground terminal, the air bag may be activated.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the molding, be sure to fully open the door glasses on both driver’s and passenger’s sides.
3. Removal of the console box ASSY (Refer to )
)4. Removal of the satellite safing sensor
(1) Check that the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
(2) Check that the battery ground terminal is disconnected.
WARNING:
·After disconnecting the battery ground terminal, do not start the work before waiting for 60 seconds.
·If the work is performed before disconnecting the battery ground terminal, the airbag may be activated just by the impact applied to the satellite safing sensor itself. Make sure to confirm the battery ground terminal is disconnected before starting the work.
·If the work is performed before disconnecting the battery ground terminal, the airbag may be activated just by the impact applied to the satellite safing sensor itself. Make sure to confirm the battery ground terminal is disconnected before starting the work.
(3) Remove the bolt.
CAUTION:
·The pin section (counter rotation part) of the satellite safing sensor is easily damaged. When loosening the bolt, hold the satellite safing sensor by hand.
·Do not apply strong impact (such as dropping) to the satellite safing sensor.
·If strong impact is applied to the satellite safing sensor, replace it with a new one.
·Do not apply strong impact (such as dropping) to the satellite safing sensor.
·If strong impact is applied to the satellite safing sensor, replace it with a new one.

(4) Slide the outer housing to the direction of the arrow in the figure to disconnect the connector and remove the satellite safing sensor.
CAUTION:
Do not hold and pull the wiring harness.
INSTALLATION
WARNING:
The following service operations include the works which may affect the SRS airbag system. Before starting work, always be sure to confirm the precautions related to the SRS airbag system. (Refer to )
)CAUTION:
·If the airbag has been activated, replace the satellite safing sensor with a new one.
·Do not reuse the bolt and nut.
Always replace with the specified new bolt and nut.
·Do not reuse the bolt and nut.
Always replace with the specified new bolt and nut.
1. Installation of the satellite safing sensor
(1) Before installation, inspect the following items and replace any faulty part with a new one.
·Satellite safing sensor is damaged.
·Connector is damaged.
·Connector is damaged.
(2) Check that the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
(3) Check that the battery ground terminal is disconnected.
WARNING:
·After disconnecting the battery ground terminal, do not start the work before waiting for 60 seconds.
·If the work is performed before disconnecting the battery ground terminal, the airbag may be activated just by the impact applied to the satellite safing sensor itself. Make sure to confirm the battery ground terminal is disconnected before starting the work.

(4) Insert the connector to the direction of the arrow in the figure and connect it to the satellite safing sensor.
CAUTION:
When engaging the connector, insert it straight taking care not to twist it.
NOTE:
When the connector is connected, it makes a clicking sound.
(5) Insert the pin section (counter rotation part) into the body hole, and install the satellite safing sensor with a bolt.
