SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK 

When ignition is turned on, SRS indicator light should come on for about 6 seconds and then go off. If indicator 
does not come on, or does not go off after about 6 seconds or comes on while driving, air bag system must be 
inspected as soon as possible.  

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS 

Observe these precautions when working with air bag systems:  

z

Disable air bag system before servicing any SRS or steering column component. Failure to do this could 
result in accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury. See DISABLING & 
ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .  

z

After an accident, all SRS components, including harness and brackets, must be inspected. If any 
components are damaged or bent, they must be replaced, even if a deployment did not occur. Check 
steering column, knee bolster, instrument panel steering column reinforcement plate and lower brace for 
damage.  

z

DO NOT service any component or wiring. If components or wiring are damaged or defective, 
replacement is necessary. DO NOT use components from another vehicle. Only use new replacement 
components supplied by manufacturer.  

z

Always wear safety glasses when servicing or handling an air bag.  

z

Air bag module must be stored in its original special container until used for service. It must be stored in 
a clean, dry place, away from sources of extreme heat, sparks and high electrical energy.  

z

When placing a live air bag module on a bench or other surface, always face air bag and trim cover up, 
away from surface. This will reduce motion of module if it is accidentally deployed.  

z

After deployment, air bag surface may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, which can irritate skin. 
Always wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-up, and wash hands using 
mild soap and water. Follow correct disposal procedures.  

z

NEVER allow any electrical source near inflator on back of air bag module.  

z

When carrying a live air bag module, trim cover should be pointed away from body to minimize injury in 
case of deployment.  

z

When installing SRS wiring harnesses, ensure they will not be pinched or interfere with other vehicle 
components.  

z

If SRS is not fully functional for any reason, vehicle should not be driven until system is repaired. DO 
NOT remove any component or in any way disable system from operating normally. If SRS is not 
functional, park vehicle until repairs can be made.

DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM 

Disabling Air Bag System 

1. Obtain radio anti-theft code from vehicle owner and write down preset radio frequencies. Ensure ignition 

is OFF. Disconnect negative battery cable and then positive battery cable. Wait at least 3 MINUTES.  

2. Remove access panel from under steering wheel. Disconnect 2-pin connector between driver-side air bag 

and cable reel. See Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 . When disconnected, air bag connector half power and ground 
terminals are automatically shorted together.  

3. Remove glove box. Disconnect 2-pin connector between passenger-side air bag and SRS main harness. 

See Fig. 7 and Fig. 16 , Fig. 17 , Fig. 18 or Fig. 19 . When disconnected, air bag connector half power 
and ground terminals are automatically shorted together.  

Activating Air Bag System 

1. Ensure ignition is OFF and both battery cables are disconnected. Connect 2-pin driver-side air bag 

connector.  

2. Connect 2-pin passenger-side air bag connector. Reconnect battery cables. Check SRS indicator light to 

ensure system is functioning properly. See SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK . Reprogram radio 
frequencies.  

NOTE:

To release SRS connector lock, pull spring-loaded sleeve toward stop while 
holding opposite half of connector. Continue pulling connector sleeve until 
connector halves are separated. DO NOT pull on connector half. See Fig. 7 . 

NOTE:

To reconnect SRS connector, push sleeve-side connector half toward pawl-side 
connector half without touching sleeve. As connector halves are pressed 
together pawl will push sleeve back. When connector halves are completely 
connected, pawl will release spring-loaded sleeve and connector will lock.
