Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
Disabling the Air Bag system
-
Disconnect both battery cables from the vehicle.
-
Wait 1 minute after disconnecting both battery cables to allow the capacitor inside the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) to discharge before
taking any other action. The capacitor supplies the reserve power to deploy the airbags, even if the battery is disconnected. Unintentional
deployment of the airbags can cause injury.
