Removal
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.
-
Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and deployment door pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the
event of an accidental deployment.
-
Do not set a live air bag module down with the deployment door face down. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
-
After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is
irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
-
Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be replaced, not repainted.
-
The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could
result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the 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.
1. Depower the system. See: Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming/Service and Repair
2. Open the glove box to its fullest extent by pushing in on the tabs and release the glove compartment.
3. Through the glove box opening, remove the passenger air bag module retaining bolts.
