REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental
airbag deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the console from the floor panel transmission tunnel. See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding / Trim/Console/Service and Repair/Floor
Console - Removal.
3. Pull the parking brake lever (1) upward to apply the parking brake.
4. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector from the terminal (4) of the park brake switch (2) located on the inboard side of the park
brake lever mechanism.
5. Remove the screw (3) that secures the switch to the park brake lever bracket.
6. Remove the switch from the park brake lever bracket.
