Seat Belt Tensioner: Service and Repair
Disconnecting Airbag and Seat Belt Tensioner Connectors
Before removing a front airbag, side airbag, or other SRS related devices (the SRS unit, the cable reel, the side impact sensors, the seat belt buckle
tensioners, and the seat belt tensioner connector), disconnecting connectors from related devices, or removing the dashboard or the steering column,
disconnect the airbag connectors or the side airbag connectors to prevent accidental deployment.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before beginning the following procedures.
IMPORTANT:
You have to wait at least 3 MINUTES after disconnecting the battery cable for the airbags to DISARM. Failure to do so might
result in deployment of the airbags or tensioners.
Seat Belt Tensioner
Remove the left and (or) right center pillar lower trim panels.
