Driver Air Bag - Removal
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
WARNING: Wait two minutes for the airbag system reserve capacitor to discharge before beginning any airbag system or component service.
Failure to do so may result in accidental airbag deployment, personal injury or death.
2. From behind the steering wheel (1), remove the two screw covers and screws (5) to the driver airbag (3).
CAUTION: Do not pull on the horn switch feed pigtail wire to disengage the connector from the driver airbag or to disconnect the horn switch
to steering wheel wire harness connection. Improper pulling on this pigtail wire or connection can result in damage to the horn
switch membrane or feed circuit.
3. Carefully pull airbag rearward just far enough to disconnect the two airbag squib connectors (2) and the horn connector (4).
4. Separate driver airbag from steering column.
NOTE: The driver airbag trim cover is available for service separately. If the horn switch is faulty or the trim cover is damaged, the airbag
cushion assembly may be transferred to a new trim cover. If the airbag is defective, the entire driver airbag and driver airbag trim
cover must be replaced as an assembly.
