CAUTION: When performing service on or around SIR components or wiring, follow the procedure. listed below to temporarily disable the SIR system. Failure to follow procedure. could result In possible air bag deployment, personal injury, or otherwise unneeded SIR system repairs.
REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to "Disabling the SIR System."
2. Negative battery cable.
3. Turn steering wheel 90 degrees to access rear shroud holes to inflator module.
4. Release each of four ball lock fastener by pushing a ball-point pen or similar device into the end of each fastener through the holes in the steering shroud.
5. Inflator module (tilt rearward from the top to access SIR wiring).
6. SIR lead wire from clip on inflator module.
7. SIR lead wire from clip on steering wheel.
8. Retainer (CPA) and SIR connector from the inflator module.
CAUTION: When carrying a live Inflator module, make sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. In case of accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with a minimal chance of personal Injury. Never carry the inflator module by the wires or connectors on the underside of the module. When placing a live inflator module on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover up, away from the surface. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment never rest a steering column assembly on the steering wheel with the Inflator module face down and the column vertical. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
INSTALL OR CONNECT
1. SIR connector and retainer (CPA) to the inflator module.
2. SIR lead wire to clip on steering wheel.
3. SIR lead wire to clip on inflator module.
4. Inflator module by pressing it firmly into steering wheel enough to engage and latch all four ball lock fasteners. Do not pinch the wires.
NOTICE: It may be necessary to reset the ball lock fasteners by using a ball-point pen or similar device.
5. Negative battery cable.
6. Enable the SIR system. Refer to "Enabling the SIR System."
