WARNING: Store a removed airbag 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:
-
Carefully inspect the airbag before installing it. Do not install an airbag that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents,
cracks or deformation.
-
Do not disassemble or tamper with the airbag.
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. 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. Make sure the wheels are aligned straight ahead.
5. Remove the dashboard lower cover.
6. Remove the driver's airbag from the steering wheel (two T30 Torx bolts).
7. Disconnect the connectors from the horn, radio remote switch, and cruise control set/resume/cancel switches, then remove the steering wheel nut.
