Description The Knee Airbag (KAB) is installed inside the crash pad lower panel and protects the driver in the event of a frontal crash. The SRSCM determines if and when to deploy the KAB.
Removal 1. Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait for at least three minutes before beginning work. 2. Remove the crash pad lower panel.
Oil Specification 1. The HFC-134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R-12 system requires mineral compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed. 2. Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the compressor model.
Inspection 1. Check the condenser fins for clogging and damage. If they are clogged, clean them with water, and blow them with compressed air. If they are bent, gently bend them using a screwdriver or pliers. 2. Check the condenser connections for leakage, and repair or replace it, if required.
