SRS Warning, Fuel filter change!!!

posted by  someone claiming to be abe crombie on  Sun May 30 17:04 CST 1999 [RELATED]

There is a Volvo SB out on precautions when changing fuel filters.

The SRS Airbag system is powered anytime the key is in position I or II. If you are listening to radio while changing fuel filter and you are using air impact tools there are real risks of deploying airbag as you re-install the fuel pump/fuel filter bracket. The hammering of air impact tool on bolts securing this bracket which is very near crash sensor location in floor pan on inside of car, can cause a deployment. This sounds like someone found out about this the hard and expensive way.

The bulletin only mentions 700/900 series but the 240 crash sensor is not too far away from the same location. LEAVE KEY OFF WHEN CHANGING FUEL FILTER!! If you need tunes get your rhythm somewhere else besides the car radio.
