1. Adjust the driver or passenger side front seat to its most forward position for easiest access to the B-pillar trim.
2. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system, a technician
trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage service disconnect from the high voltage battery pack. Wait
two minutes for the system capacitors to discharge before further service.
3. Remove the lower trim from the inside of the right or left B-pillar (1). See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding / Trim/Trim Panel/Service and
Repair/Pillar Trim/B-Pillar Trim Panel-Removal.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
system, a technician trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage service disconnect from
the high voltage battery pack. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in
accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the side impact sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its
calibration. The side impact sensor enables the system to deploy the side Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components. If an
impact sensor is accidentally dropped during service, the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit. Failure to
observe this warning could result in accidental, incomplete, or improper side SRS component deployment.
