Warning: WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be depleted before
repairing or replacing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or
striking components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood
latches.
The 2 front impact severity sensors are located at the top and in front of each side of the radiator core support.
The side impact sensors (if equipped) are located at or near the base of the B-pillars.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary
batteries and power supplies (if equipped)

Note: A tool that has a blunt end, such as a 4.0 mm (0.15 in) Allen wrench, is better able to disengage the steering wheel spring clip from the driver air
bag module locking pins.
8. Using a 4 mm (0.15 in) Allen wrench or suitable tool, place 2 marks on the tool as an aid to remove the driver air bag module. One mark should be
approximately 35 mm (1.37 in) from the end of the tool with the second mark approximately 45 mm (1.77 in) from the end of the tool.
Note: The steering wheel rear cover has internal guides that assist in directing the tool to the correct location. Allow the steering wheel rear cover to
guide the tool, minimal force is needed.
