SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 3
SIR DISABLING AND ENABLING ZONE 3
DISABLING PROCEDURE
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
3. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
4. Locate the body control module (BCM) fuse center then remove the fuse center cover.
5. Locate and remove the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the BCM fuse center.
IMPORTANT: This inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) has two fused power inputs. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove both AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the BCM fuse
center. With the AIR BAG fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates. This is normal
operation, and does not indicate an SIR system malfunction.
6. Remove the left/driver outer trim cover from the instrument panel (I/P).
7. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) from the steering wheel module coil connector.
8. Disconnect the steering wheel module coil connector from the vehicle harness connector.
