Inflator Module - Replacement






REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Disable the SIR.
2. Place front wheels in a straight ahead position.
3. Negative (-) battery cable.





4. One right side trim cover from steering wheel and two horn wire connectors.





5. Two Torx(R) head screws and inflator module from steering wheel.

WARNING: When carrying a live inflator module, make sure the bag and trim cover are pointed away from you. In case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury. Never carry the inflator module by the wires or connector on the underside of the module. When placing a live inflator module on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover up, away from the surface. Never rest a steering column assembly on the steering wheel with the inflator module face down and column vertical. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment. Otherwise, personal injury could result.
