Deactivation

WARNINGAlways wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNINGCarry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNINGDo not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNINGAfter deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
WARNINGNever probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
WARNINGThe safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
WARNINGNever probe the connectors on the safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety canopy deployment.
WARNINGVehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the sensor or any other damaged supplemental restraint system (SRS) components whether or not the air bag is deployed.
WARNINGThe restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.

Note. If a seat equipped with a seat mounted side air bag and/or a safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) system is being serviced, the air bag system must be deactivated.

Note. Restraint system diagnostic tools MUST be installed under the seats in the seat side air bag (if equipped) and safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) to floor connectors.

Note. After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.

Note. After diagnosing or repairing a seat system, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.

Note. The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

  1. The side impact sensors (if equipped) are located at or near the base of the B-pillars and C-pillars. To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped). Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. For additional information, refer to «BATTERY & CHARGING SYSTEM»(ref-193018) .
  2. Remove the two steering wheel back cover plugs (one shown).
  3. Remove the two driver air bag module bolts (one shown).
  4. Disconnect the driver air bag module. Release the two tabs on each driver air bag module electrical connector and disconnect them. Label each driver air bag module electrical connector before disconnecting.
  5. Release the tab and disconnect the driver air bag module accessories electrical connector at the top of the clockspring and remove the driver air bag module.
  6. Attach the restraint system diagnostic tools to the clockspring electrical connectors at the top of the steering column.
  7. Push in on the glove compartment sides, releasing the stops and lowering it out of the way.
  8. Through the glove compartment opening, release the tab and disconnect the passenger air bag module electrical connector.
  9. Attach the restraint system diagnostic tool to the vehicle harness side of the passenger air bag module electrical connector.
  10. Remove the RH C-pillar trim panel. Pull out and release the retaining clips. Pull out and release the retainer. Lower the door opening weatherstrip, slide the C-pillar trim panel up, releasing the retainers, and remove the C-pillar trim panel.
  11. Disconnect the RH safety canopy electrical connector.
  12. Attach the restraint system diagnostic tool to the vehicle harness side of the RH safety canopy electrical connector.
  13. Connect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to «BATTERY & CHARGING SYSTEM»(ref-193018) .
  14. Move and tilt the front seats to their highest and most forward position.
  15. The side impact sensors (if equipped) are located at or near the base of the B-pillars and C-pillars. To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped). Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. For additional information, refer to «BATTERY & CHARGING SYSTEM»(ref-193018) .
  16. From under the back of the front RH seat, push in to release the tab and disconnect the front seat restraint system electrical connector.
  17. Attach the front seat restraint system diagnostic tool to the vehicle harness side of the RH front seat restraint system electrical connector.
  18. Remove the LH C-pillar trim panel. Pull out and release the retaining clips. Pull out and release the retainer. Lower the door opening weatherstrip, slide the C-pillar trim panel up, releasing the retainers, and remove the C-pillar trim panel.
  19. Disconnect the LH safety canopy electrical connector.
