WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system
(SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. If damaged, replace the sensor whether or not
the air bag is deployed.
NOTE: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the ECS module fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does
not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
NOTE: Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic
procedure again.
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
1. Depower the system. For additional information, See: Air Bag Systems/Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming/Service and Repair
2. Remove the radiator grille.
3. Disconnect the primary crash sensor electrical connector.
