Driver's Inflator Module

INFLATABLE RESTRAINT STEERING WHEEL MODULE ASSEMBLY

Typical:

Remove or Disconnect

1. Disable SIR system.
2. Loosen bolts/screws from back of steering wheel assembly using number 30 TORX driver (or equivalent) until inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly can be released from steering wheel assembly.
3. Inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly from steering wheel assembly.

CAUTION: When carrying a live inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly, make sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. Never carry the inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly by the wires or electrical connector on the underside of it. In case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury. When placing a live inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly 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 assembly with the inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly face down and steering column assembly 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.

4. SIR coil assembly electrical connector and retainer from inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly.
5. Horn and ground lead from column assembly.

Install or Connect

1. Horn and ground lead to column assembly.
2. SIR coil assembly electrical connector and retainer to inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly.
3. Secure SIR coil assembly electrical connector to steering wheel assembly by inserting thick section of wire into existing retainers.
4. Position inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly to steering wheel assembly.

Important: Ensure wiring is not exposed or trapped between inflatable restraint steering wheel module assembly and steering wheel assembly.

5. Bolts/screws.

Tighten
Bolts/screws to 2.8 N.m (25 lb. in.).

6. Enable SIR system.
