Passenger Airbag

REMOVAL
If the airbag has been deployed, the instrument panel and pad assembly must be replaced.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative remote cable.
2. Wait two minutes for the system reserve capacitor to discharge before servicing any airbag components.
3. Open and lower glove box fully to gain access to Passenger Airbag attaching screws inside of the glove box. Glove box removal not required.
4. Disconnect wire connector from the Passenger Airbag.
5. Remove the two nuts and two screws attaching airbag assembly to the instrument panel collar. The two nuts are on the outer sides of the passenger airbag, underneath and up near the top of the instrument panel. It is a good idea to remove the center bezel with the HVAC control head to gain access to line up the socket on the stud on the inboard side of the passenger airbag. The two screws are mounted straight through the tabs at the bottom front of the airbag, in the instrument panel reinforcement.
6. Disengage airbag door tabs from the instrument panel retainer and lift the Passenger Airbag up and out of panel cavity.

INSTALLATION
If replacing Passenger Airbag due to a deployment, use a new instrument panel and pad assembly. Transfer all of the components.
1. With the battery disconnected, place the Passenger Airbag into the panel cavity. Press the airbag door tabs down to engage on the instrument panel retainer.
2. Install the two nuts and two screws attaching airbag assembly to the instrument panel collar and torque nuts and screws to 7.5 ± 1 N.m (66 in. lbs.). The two nuts are on the outer sides of the passenger airbag, underneath up near the top of the instrument panel. The two screws are mounted straight through the tabs at the bottom front of the airbag, in the instrument panel reinforcement.
3. Connect Passenger Airbag wire connector.
4. Pinch in on sides of the glove box and raise it up into the instrument panel opening.
