NOTE: The following procedure is for replacement of a faulty or damaged passenger airbag. If the airbag is faulty or damaged, but not deployed,
review the recommended procedures for handling nondeployed supplemental restraints. If the passenger airbag has been deployed, review the
recommended procedures for service after a supplemental restraint deployment before removing the airbag from the vehicle.
1. Position the passenger airbag unit onto the instrument panel.
2. Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector for the airbag to the passenger airbag inflator pigtail wire connector on the right side of the
airbag lower mounting bracket. Be certain that the latch on the connector and the red Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock are each fully
engaged.
3. Carefully lower the passenger airbag unit into the instrument panel, being certain that the airbag lower mounting bracket is properly positioned to
the instrument panel support structure.
4. Reach up into the instrument panel between the upper glove box opening reinforcement (2) and the cross car beam (1) to install and tighten the
two screws that secure the passenger airbag lower mounting bracket to the instrument panel support structure. Tighten the screws to 6 Nm(55 in.
lbs.).
5. Using hand pressure, push down on the passenger airbag door over each snap feature until it snaps into its receptacle in the instrument panel base
trim.
6. Reinstall the glove box into the instrument panel.
7. Reinstall the defroster grille onto the top of the instrument panel.
8. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The supplemental restraint system verification test procedure should be performed
following service of any supplemental restraint system component.
