Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
Disabling the SIR System
The diagnostic energy reserve module or sensing and diagnostic module (DERM/SDM) can maintain enough voltage to cause air bag
deployment for up to two minutes after the ignition switch is turned off and the battery is disconnected. Servicing the SIR system during
this period may result in accidental deployment and personal injury.
1. Ensure front wheels are pointed straight ahead.
2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and remove SIR or AIR BAG fuse.
3. Remove left sound insulator. If necessary, remove courtesy lamp from sound insulator.
4. Disconnect Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and yellow 2-way connector at base of steering column.
5. On models with passenger's air bag, remove right hand sound insulator and disconnect CPA and yellow 2-way connector from passenger's
inflator pigtail.
6. Wait at least 2 minutes before proceeding with diagnosis or service.
