REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
•
If the VIN status inquiry indicates that the vehicle is subject to any open safety recalls, including a driver's
airbag inflator campaign/recall, make sure to also complete those recall repairs before returning the vehicle
to the customer. If you are unable to complete any open recall, advise the customer of the recall status and
when the recall could be completed.
•
Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the audio and navigation system (if applicable), then write down the
frequencies for the audio unit's preset buttons.
•
Be careful not to damage any parts when replacing the inflator, and follow the procedure exactly.
•
If, before removing the airbag, you suspect that it may be the incorrect airbag for the vehicle or a counterfeit, do not
remove the airbag. Contact your DPSM for assistance.
•
Make sure you have reviewed the SRS Precautions and Procedures in the service repair information before doing
the REPAIR PROCEDURE.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position and check if the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds, then
turns off.
•
If the indicator comes on, then turns off after about 6 seconds, go to step 6.
•
If the indicator does not come on, or if it stays on, contact your DPSM for assistance.
6. Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least 3 minutes before continuing.
7. Remove the front passenger's airbag. Refer to the service repair information.
8. Place the airbag, face-down, on a clean shop towel.
NOTE:
•
The orientation of the airbag is critical because if the inflator is installed incorrectly, the harness will be too short
when you reinstall the airbag.
•
The brackets between the various models are similar but may differ from the example shown.
