REMOVAL PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
^ Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling And Storage Caution in Service Precautions.
^ A deployed dual stage inflator module will look the same whether one or both stages were used, always assume a deployed dual stage inflator module has an active stage 2 Improper handling or servicing can activate the inflator module and cause personal injury. Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Caution.




1. Disable the SIR system.
2. Remove passenger (right) insulator panel.

3. Remove the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) (4) from the inflatable restraint IP module connector (2).
4. Remove the IP module yellow connector (2) from the vehicle harness yellow connector (1).
5. Remove the IP module yellow connector (2) from the instrument panel (IP) bracket (3).




6. Remove the instrument panel (IP) upper trim pad.

2. Route the IF module pigtail (4) down through the IP(1).
3. Install the IP module (3) to the IP (1).

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

4. Install the IP module mounting fasteners (2).

Tighten
Tighten fasteners to 9 N.m (80 lb in).




5. Route the IP module wiring harness (2) in place to secure IP module yellow connector clip to IP (3).
6. Install the IP upper trim pad.




7. Clip the IP module yellow connector (2) to IP bracket (3).
8. Install the IP module yellow connector (2) to the vehicle harness yellow connector (1).
9. Install the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) (4) to the IF module connector (2).
10. Install passenger (right) insulator panel.

IMPORTANT: After replacing a deployed or undeployed dual stage inflator module, correct disposal is required. A deployed dual stage inflator module must be energized to ensure that both stages are no longer active. Refer to Inflator Module Handling and Scrapping for proper disposal.

11. Enable the SIR system.
