Reactivation Procedures

WARNING: THE AIR BAG SIMULATORS MUST BE REMOVED AND THE AIR BAG MODULES RECONNECTED WHEN THE SYSTEM IS REACTIVATED TO AVOID NON-DEPLOYMENT IN A COLLISION, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.

1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Wait at least one minute for the back-up power supply in the Restraint Control Module (RCM) to deplete its stored energy.
3. Remove the air bag simulator from the vehicle harness connector at the top of the steering column.

WARNING: CARRY A LIVE AIR BAG MODULE WITH THE AIR BAG AND TRIM COVER POINTED AWAY FROM YOUR BODY. THIS WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT.

4. Install the driver air bag module.
5. Remove the air bag simulator from the vehicle harness connector at the passenger air bag module.
6. Connect the passenger air bag module electrical connector.
7. Reconnect the battery ground cable.
