Air Bag: Service and Repair
Driver Side
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, the airbag assemblies and the SRS unit must be replaced.
WARNING: Store a removed airbag assembly with the pad surface up. If the airbag is improperly stored face down, accidental deployment
could propel the unit with enough force to cause serious injury.
CAUTION:
- Always disconnect the airbag connector(s) when the harness is disconnected.
- Do not disassemble or tamper with the airbag.
- Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. When repairing, use only new SRS parts.
- Carefully inspect the airbag before you install it. Do not install an airbag that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents,
cracks or deformation.
1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio, then write down the frequencies for the radio's preset buttons.
2. Disconnect the battery negative cable, then disconnect the positive cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes.
3. Disconnecting the airbag connector(s):
Remove the access panel from the steering wheel, then disconnect the 2P connector between the driver's airbag and cable reel.
NOTE: When disconnected, the airbag connector is automatically shorted.
4. Remove the airbag(s):
Remove the two Torx bolts using a Torx T30 bit, then remove the driver's airbag.
