Airbag Arming/Disarming

NOTE: Access and record all fault (trouble) codes prior to disarming the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

1. Place ignition switch in lock position.
2. Disconnect and insulate the negative battery cable connector with electrical tape.
3. Wait at least 2 minutes after disconnecting battery before working on vehicle. The SRS system retains enough voltage to deploy airbag for a short time after battery has been disconnected.
4. After repairs are complete, connect battery ground cable.
5. From passenger side of vehicle, turn ignition switch to ON position.
6. SRS warning light should illuminate for 6 to 8 seconds, then remain off for at least 45 seconds to indicate SRS system is functioning correctly.
7. If SRS indicator does not perform as described Refer to Testing and Inspection.
