When checking voltage or resistance on this type of connector the first time, you must remove the retainer to insert the tester probe from the wire side.
NOTE: It is not necessary to reinstall the removed retainer; the terminals will stay locked in the connector housing.
To remove the retainer (A), insert a flat-tip screwdriver (B) between the connector body and the retainer, then carefully pry out the retainer. Take care not to break the connector.
Seats with side airbags have a ''SIDE AIRBAG'' label on the seat-back. Because the component parts (seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you install only the correct replacement parts.
- When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
- Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace the seat-back cover.
- After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the side airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is deformed, it must be replaced.
