Knee Blocker Airbag - Removal

REMOVAL





1. Open hood, disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

WARNING: Wait two minutes for the airbag system reserve capacitor to discharge before beginning any airbag system or component service. Failure to do so may result in accidental airbag deployment, or potentially serious or fatal injury.

2. Remove the two lower knee blocker airbag trim cover (5) screws (4).
3. Reach up behind the knee blocker airbag (1) and remove the two outside nuts (3) holding the airbag to the instrument panel (2). Do not remove the middle nut, it holds the airbag cushion to the back panel. If it is removed by accident, this is a smaller flanged nut than the outside nuts to allow it to pass through the larger middle hole.




4. Pull the knee blocker airbag rearward.
5. Disconnect the knee blocker airbag electrical connector and remove airbag from vehicle.
