Inflatable Restraint Instrument Panel Module Replacement

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
^ Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling And Storage Caution in Service Precautions.
^ A deployed dual stage inflator module will look the same whether one or both stages were used, always assume a deployed dual stage inflator module has an active stage 2. Improper handling or servicing can activate the inflator module and cause personal injury. Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Caution.




1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming.
2. Remove the right insulator panel.
3. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) (4) from the inflatable restraint I/P module connector (2).
4. Remove the I/P module yellow connector (2) from the vehicle harness yellow connector (1).
5. Remove the I/P module yellow connector (2) from the instrument panel (I/P) bracket (3).




6. Remove the I/P upper trim pad.
7. Note the I/P module wire harness routing position, to help in re-assembly.
8. Push the I/P module yellow connector (2) back away from the I/P (3).




9. Remove the I/P module mounting fasteners (2).
10. Remove the inflatable restraint module (3) from the I/P (1).Do not damage the module pigtail (4).

IMPORTANT: A deployed dual stage inflator module must be energized to ensure that both stages are no longer active.

11. Fully deploy the module before disposal. If the module was replaced under warranty, fully deploy and dispose of the module after the required retention period. Refer to Inflator Module Handling and Scrapping.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE




1. When installing the inflatable restraint module (3) do not damage the module pigtail (4).
2. Route the I/P module pigtail (4) down through the I/P (1).
3. Install the I/P module (3) to the I/P (1).

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

4. Install the I/P module mounting fasteners (2).

Tighten
Tighten fasteners to 9 N.m (80 lb in).




5. Route the I/P module wiring harness (2) in place to secure I/P module yellow connector clip to I/P (3).
6. Install the I/P upper trim pad.




7. Clip the I/P module yellow connector (2) to I/P bracket (3).
8. Install the I/P module yellow connector (2) to the vehicle harness yellow connector (1).
9. Install the CPA (4) to the I/P module connector (2).
10. Install the right insulator panel.
11. Enable the SIR system. Refer to Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming.
