Honda 77810-T2A-A81ZA Set, Driver Module (Graphite Black)

All models come with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), better known as airbags, for the driver and front seat passenger that helps prevent head on or frontal collisions, through sensors positioned behind the front bumper and airbag assemblies positioned on the steering wheel and on the passenger side of the dashboard. Side-impact airbags are included with sensors located in the side parts of the front seat backs in the two-door Valiants and in the front seat backs and the body near the rear doors in four-door Valiants; the side curtain airbags are hidden behind the headliner Some models have an option of side-impact airbags while others have side-curtain airbags. The driver's side airbag is enclosed in driver side front portion of the steering wheel, and a signal from a key titanium parts SRS unit triggers the inflator assembly in the airbag which expands almost immediately. The passenger's airbag is bigger than the driver's side, located above the glove box: on deployment, it splits through a trim cover on the dashboard. The SRS control unit supplies power to the airbag system during a crash and monitors the system when the vehicle is started; if a problem is found, the 'SRS' light may come on or blink, signalling that the car should be serviced. To disarm the system when operating in the close proximity to the steering wheel or other SRS components, the steering wheel must be straightened, the key turned to the LOCK position, and the negative battery terminal disconnected, and then the system must be allowed to draw power from the backup power supply for at least 180 seconds. When storing the airbag modules the side with the opening should not be toward the body and should not be placed on a surface with the opening down. Electrical tests or resistance measurements on any of the SRS components should not be made since doing so may trigger the deployment of the air bag. Also, electrical welding equipment must not be connected to any vehicle that has air bags until the air bag electrical connections is disconnected; these wires are always indicated by their bright yellow color. A vehicle's live airbag modules or seat belt pretensioners cannot be tossed; the modules must be taken back to a dealer service department or an authorized repair shop where they can be safely deployed and disposed.
