INSTALLATION
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, use extreme care to prevent any foreign material from entering the driver airbag, or becoming
entrapped between the driver airbag cushion and the driver airbag trim cover. Failure to observe this warning could result in occupant injuries
upon airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, the driver airbag trim cover must never be painted. Replacement airbags are serviced with trim
covers in the original colors. Paint may change the way in which the material of the trim cover responds to an airbag deployment. Failure to
observe this warning could result in occupant injuries upon airbag deployment.
NOTE: The following procedure is for replacement of an ineffective or damaged driver airbag. If the airbag is ineffective or damaged, but not
deployed, review the recommended procedures for handling non-deployed supplemental restraints. If the driver airbag has been deployed, review the
recommended procedures for service after a supplemental restraint deployment before removing the airbag from the vehicle.
1. Position the driver airbag (1) close enough to the steering wheel to reconnect the three electrical connections on the back of the airbag housing.
2. When installing the driver airbag, reconnect the two clockspring driver airbag pigtail wire connectors (3) to the airbag inflator connector
receptacles by pressing straight in on the connector. Be certain to engage each keyed and color-coded connector to the matching connector
receptacle. You can be certain that each connector is fully engaged in its receptacle by listening carefully for a distinct, audible click as the
connector latches snap into place.
3. Reconnect the steering wheel wire harness connector (2) for the horn switch to the horn switch feed pigtail wire connector (4), which is located on
the back of the driver airbag housing.
