Air Bag: Service and Repair
Front Passenger Airbag
Spring-Loaded Lock Connector
Some SRS system connectors have a spring-loaded look.
1. To release the lock, pull the spring-loaded sleeve (A) toward the stop (B) while holding the opposite half of the connector. Then pull the connector
halves apart.
NOTE: Be sure to pull on the sleeve and not on the connector half.
2. To reconnect, hold the pawl-side connector half, and press on the back of the sleeve-side connector half in the direction shown. As the two
connector halves are pressed together, the sleeve (A) is pushed back by the pawl (C).
NOTE: Do not touch the sleeve.
3. When the connector halves are completely connected, the pawl is released, and the spring-loaded sleeve locks the connector.
Removal and Installation
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, the airbags and the SRS unit must be replaced.
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: Do not disassemble or tamper with the airbag.
NOTE:
-
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. Disconnect the battery negative cable, then disconnect the positive cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes.
2. Remove the glove box.
