REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

CAUTIONVehicles are equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). When servicing vehicle, use care not to cause accidental air bag deployment. All SRS electrical connections and wiring harness are covered with Yellow insulation. Related components are located in steering column, center console, instrument panel and lower panel on instrument panel. DO NOT use electrical test equipment on these circuits. It may be necessary to deactivate SRS before servicing components. See AIR BAG DEACTIVATION PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
