Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming


When working on pyrotechnic components and on the airbag control module (J234) , the battery ground cable must be disconnected WITH THE IGNITION SWITCHED ON. Then cover the negative pole.

Wait for 10 seconds after disconnecting the battery.

Connect the battery with the ignition SWITCHED ON. No one should be sitting inside the vehicle when doing this. Exception: vehicles with the battery inside the passenger compartment. In this case, stay away from the airbags and the safety belts.
