Seeing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Failure to take proper precautions when servicing and handling the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) can cause accidental triggering of the inflator, which can result in severe personal injury.
- Always disconnect the "A/B" fuse and air bag (inflator) modules from the initiator circuit when instructed in any service procedure.
- Handle and store an SDM in a dry place where the ambient temperature is below 65 °C (150 °F), and there are no electric noise sources.
- Handle the SDM very carefully during all service procedures. Never strike it with another object or shake it excessively.
- Never power the air bag system when the SDM is not rigidly attached to the vehicle. Unless all fasteners of the SDM mounting bracket are firmly tightened and the arrow points toward the front of the vehicle, the SDM could be accidentally activated when the air bag system is powered, possibly causing the air bags to deploy.
