Air Bag Deactivation Indicator: Service and Repair

PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION (PAD) INDICATOR







Removal and Installation

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.

NOTE:
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a SRS fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.

1. Depower the system.







2. Separate the RH I/P trim panel.
- Pull out to release the retaining clips.
- Slide the RH I/P trim panel slightly to the right, aligning the keyway.
- Pull out, separating the RH I/P trim panel from the I/P.







3. Disconnect the electrical connector, release the retainers and remove the PAD indicator from the I/P trim panel.
4. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
5. Repower the system.
