2023-08-24: Added additional warning to make sure LV is disconnected.

Warning

Make sure LV power has been disconnected for at least 2 minutes before disconnecting the electrical harness from Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) components, such as the Restraint Control Module, sensors, airbags, etc. Failure to do so can result in unintended safety system behaviors. For more information on SRS precautions, see Air Bag and Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Precautions.

Warning

Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) components can be hazardous if not handled properly. For more information on SRS precautions, see Air Bag and Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Precautions.

Warning

While performing any Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) related repairs, it is important to disconnect LV power. If the vehicle’s LV power is NOT disconnected and the Restraint Control Module is removed or disturbed, this can result in the deployment of the vehicle’s airbags.

Warning

This procedure is a DRAFT, although it has been validated. Warnings and Cautions might be missing. Follow safety requirements and use extreme caution when working on or near high voltage systems and components. Provide corrections and feedback to ServiceDevelopment@teslamotors.com.
