Air Bag Module (Passenger Side)

WARNING: HANDLING AIR BAG IMPROPERLY MAY CAUSE IT TO DEPLOY, WHICH MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. READ SERVICE WARNINGS, BEFORE SERVICING.

CAUTION: Never service wiring or electrical components when any air bag is connected.

REMOVAL

CAUTION: Follow Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming procedures before removal.






1. Remove the two screws at the bottom corners of glove box and remove glove box.
2. Remove side cover and pull connector fixed at T-bar side bracket.






3. Remove two front and two rear mounting bolts.
4. Disconnect passenger air bag module connector from wiring harness.

NOTE: Orange and blue connectors are exclusive to air bag-SRS harness. Connector half with female pins consists of two separate shells; one for air bag-SRS, other for horn. These two shells are mechanically configured to provide blue air bag-SRS shell with two retention latches, reducing possibility of and unwanted separation during a collision. Blue air bag-SRS shell also contains a safety feature that shunts its two pins together when it is disconnected. This feature helps prevent unintentional air bag deployment When disconnecting two shells, it is necessary to remove orange shell first. Reconnection is reverse order of disconnection.

WARNING:
A. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE ANY OF ACTUAL AIR BAG-SRS COMPONENTS. DISASSEMBLY OF COMPONENTS CAN RENDER SYSTEM INOPERATIVE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. NEVER ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE OR REPAIR AIR BAG MODULES.
