Nubira SE Sedan L4-2.0L DOHC D-TEC MFI (2001)
Air Bag: Description and Operation
DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE
CAUTION: Tampering with the driver side airbag module creates the risk of an injury from an unexpected deployment. Therefore, the driver side air-
bag module should never be disassembled.
The driver airbag module is under the center pad of the steering wheel.
The driver airbag module contains an ignition charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded airbag.
PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE
CAUTION: Tampering with the passenger side airbag module creates the risk of an injury from an unexpected deployment. Therefore, the passenger
side airbag module should never be disassembled.
The passenger airbag module is on the passenger side of the instrument panel.
The passenger airbag module contains an ignitor charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded airbag. The passenger airbag also includes wiring and a
connector. The airbag side of the yellow connector contains a shorting bar which short-circuits the passenger high circuit to the passenger low circuit
when the connector is disconnected. The shorting bar prevents current from traveling through the passenger airbag module during servicing. The shorting
bar is disengaged when the connector is connected. If the wiring or connector on the passenger airbag is damaged, the passenger airbag must be replaced.
