REMOVAL

WARNINGDisable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.

Note. The heater-A/C system is equipped with two mode door actuators. One for the air doors for the outlets in the instrument panel and one for the air door for the 2nd row/console outlets.
