Air Bag Disarming
The air bag system is a sensitive, complex electromechanical unit.
Before attempting to diagnose or service any airbag system or related steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel components you must first
disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable.
Then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further system service.
This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. failure to do this could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury.
