Inflator Module - Replacement

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Disable Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system. Refer to "Disabling the SIR System".
2. Loosen bolts/screws (3) from back of steering wheel (2) using number 30 TORX(R) driver (or equivalent) until inflatable restraint steering wheel module (1) can be released from steering wheel (2).
3. Inflatable restraint steering wheel module (1) from steering wheel (2).

CAUTION: When carrying a live Inflator module, make sure the bag opening is 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 up, away from the surface. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment. Never rest a steering column on the steering wheel with the Inflator module face down and the column vertical. Otherwise, personal injury may result.

4. SIR coil electrical connector and retainer (32) from inflatable restraint steering wheel module (1).
5. Radio control switch electrical connector from inflatable restraint steering wheel module (1), if equipped.
6. Horn lead from column (15).

INSTALL OR CONNECT

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the correct location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

1. Horn lead to column (15).
2. Radio control switch electrical connector to inflatable restraint steering wheel module (1), if equipped.
3. SIR coil electrical connector and retainer (32) to inflatable restraint steering wheel module (1).
4. Secure SIR coil electrical connector to steering wheel (2) by inserting thick section of wire into existing retainers.
5. Position inflatable restraint steering wheel module (1) to steering wheel(2).

Important: Ensure wiring is not exposed or trapped between inflatable restraint steering wheel module (1) and steering wheel (2).

6. Bolts/screws (3).
^ Tighten bolts/screws (3) to 2.8 Nm (25 lb in).
7. Enable SIR system. Refer to "Enabling the SIR System".
