DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE







Removal and Installation

WARNING:
- Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
- Always carry or place a live air bag module with the air bag and deployment door/trim cover/tear seam pointed away from the body. Do not set a live air bag module down with the deployment door/trim cover/tear seam face down. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
- Do not repaint air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers or deployment doors; new air bag modules must be installed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the air bag deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

CAUTION: Do not allow driver air bag module to hang from the wiring harness. Damage to the wiring harness and connectors may occur.

NOTE: Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.

1. Depower the supplemental restraint system (SRS).

2. NOTE: Turn the steering wheel to gain access to each of the 3 driver air bag module attachment pin bores.

Working from the back of the steering wheel, insert a screwdriver into the driver air bag module attachment pin bore.

Rotate the screwdriver to release the driver air bag module attachment pin from the spring retainer.
- Repeat this step for the remaining 2 driver air bag module attachment pins.







3. Disconnect the horn switch connector.
4. Disconnect the driver air bag module connectors and remove the driver air bag module.







5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
