Removal

WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental

restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.

WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed

away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental
deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down.

Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium

hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash
your hands with soap and water afterwards. Failure to follow this instruction may result
in personal injury.

WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so may

result in air bag deployment, which may result in personal injury. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be

replaced, not repainted.

WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If

a vehicle equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is involved in a
collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. If
damaged, replace the sensor whether or not the air bag is deployed.

WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the

backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing any air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) components. To deplete the backup power supply
energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait one minute. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.

CAUTION: Make sure the wheels are in the straight-ahead position. Failure to

follow this instruction may result in damage to the component.

NOTE:

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