WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any component diagnosis or service of the front seats, when equipped with front seat
side air bags. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the
proper precautions may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.
