Removal
REMOVAL
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the knee blocker airbag (1) from the instrument panel (2) all the way. After loosening the two nuts (3) to the instrument panel there should be enough room to unlatch the trim cover (5).
1. Open hood, disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
WARNING: Wait two minutes for the airbag system reserve capacitor to discharge before beginning any airbag system or component service. Failure to do so may result in accidental airbag deployment, serious or fatal injury.
2. Remove the two lower knee blocker airbag trim cover screws (4).
3. Reach up behind the knee blocker airbag (1) and remove the two nuts (3) holding the airbag to the instrument panel (2).
4. Pull the knee blocker airbag rearward enough to undo the hook and latch retainers to the airbag trim cover (5).
