Removal
WARNING:
-
Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
-
Always carry or place a live air bag module with the air bag and deployment door/trim cover/tear seam pointed away from the body. Do
not set a live air bag module down with the deployment door/trim cover/tear seam face down. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
CAUTION: Make sure each of the 3 driver air bag module wire clips are disengaged from each of the 3 steering wheel hooks before
removing the driver air bag module from the steering wheel. Failure to follow this instruction may result in component damage and/or
system failure.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal
operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic
procedure again.
All vehicles
1. Make sure the road wheels are in the straight-ahead position.

3. CAUTION: Turn the steering wheel such that the top is at 90 degrees (at the 9 o'clock position) to the left from the straight-ahead
position to access the driver air bag module wire clips and to prevent damage to the steering column multi-function switch. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in component damage.
Turn the steering wheel so the top of the wheel is 90 degrees to the left (at the 9 o'clock position).
4. Depower the SRS.
