Air Bag Deactivation Indicator: Service and Repair

PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION (PAD) INDICATOR







Removal and Installation

WARNING: To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.

NOTE:
- The air bag warning indicator 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 supplemental restraint system (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 SRS.
2. Separate the RH instrument panel (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 passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator from the I/P trim panel.







4. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
5. Repower the SRS.
