WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting
any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect
and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further
diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result
in accidental airbag deployment.
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 curtain supplemental restraints. 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 front supplemental restraint deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service.
