AIRBAG SYSTEM ELECTRICAL REPAIRS
Except when doing electrical inspections that require battery power, always turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK)
mode, disconnect the negative battery cable, then wait at least 3 minutes before starting work.
• For easier identification, electrical connectors that contain only
airbag system wiring are yellow in color.
• Many harnesses that contain primarily airbag wiring are also
wrapped in yellow tape.
• Airbag system wiring that runs in a common harness, such as a
floor harness, is generally not marked.
• NEVER attempt to modify, splice, or repair airbag system wiring.
If airbag system wiring is damaged, replace the wiring harness(es).
NOTE: Refer to the service manual for complete restraint system
operation, diagnostic, and repair information.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with an initiator-type TPMS.
• The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on if the air pressure
is too low in one or more tires. TPMS messages will also appear
on the multi-information display in the gauge control module.
• The TPMS indicator will stay on and the system will set DTCs if
all four tire pressure sensor IDs are not memorized by the TPMS
control unit after you replace a wheel and/or tire pressure sensor.
• Refer to “Memorizing a Tire Pressure Sensor ID” in the service
manual for complete information.
• The HDS (or equivalent) scan tool may be required to perform this
memorization. Contact an Acura dealer for assistance, if necessary.
Electrical Repair Information
ELECTRICAL PIGTAIL AND CONNECTOR REPAIR
• Disconnect the vehicle’s battery before doing any
welding or electrical repairs, Refer to “12 Volt Battery
Terminal Disconnection and Reconnection” in the
service or body repair manuals for more information.
• Certain front and rear electrical connectors subject to
collision damage may be repaired using pigtails and
connectors listed in the ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
illustrations in the parts catalog (example shown here).
• Pigtails attach to the vehicle wiring using special
crimp-and-seal terminal joints. After crimping, the joints
are heated using a heat gun to seal out the environment.
• Repair pigtails come in a limited range of colors that
usually don’t match the vehicle’s wiring. Pay close
attention during repairs to ensure correct locations.
• Vehicle wiring schematics service information can
be found in the Electrical Wiring Diagrams (EWD).
• If wiring is damaged and a repair pigtail or connector
is not available, replace the affected harness.
• NEVER attempt to modify, splice, or repair airbag system wiring.
