Hummer H2. Manual - part 2033

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply. The reserved 
energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 
minute after disconnecting the vehicle power. Disabling the SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags 
from the reserved energy supply. 

General Service Instructions 

The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the vehicle 
and return it to its original integrity: 

z

Do not expose inflator modules to temperatures above 65°C (150°F).  

z

Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different vehicle.  

z

Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use salvaged 
parts for repairs to the SIR system.  

Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 91 cm (3 ft) or greater:

SIR DISABLING AND ENABLING ZONE 1 

Disabling Procedure 

1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight ahead.  

2. Turn OFF the ignition.  

3. Remove the key from the ignition.  

4. Remove the engine protection shield, if equipped. 

CAUTION: When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR 

wiring, the SIR system must be disabled. Refer to SIR Disabling and 
Enabling Zones. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause 
deployment of the SIR components, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR 
system repairs.

IMPORTANT: Refer to SIR Service Precautions before disabling the SIR system.

IMPORTANT: With the SIR fuse removed and the ignition ON, the AIR BAG indicator 

illuminates. This is normal operation and does not indicate an SIR system 
malfunction.
