Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Removal

REMOVAL

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

2. Remove the cluster bezel from the instrument panel. Instrument Cluster Bezel - Removal.

6. If equipped, disconnect the remote start system antenna module coaxial cable connector from the WIN connector receptacle.
