PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

Warning

• Handling the air bag module improperly can accidentally deploy the air bag module, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings and cautions before handling the air bag module. (See SERVICE WARNINGS.) (See SERVICE CAUTIONS.)

• Due to the adoption of 2-step deployment control in the passenger-side air bag module, depending on the impact force, it is possible that inflator No.2 might not deploy. In such cases, before disposing of the air bag module, make sure to follow the inflator deployment procedures and verify complete deployment of inflators No.1 and 2.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more.

4. Remove in the order indicated in the table.

5. Install in the reverse order of removal.

6. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

7. Verify that the air bag system warning light illuminates for approx. 6 s and goes out.

• If the air bag system warning light does not operate, refer to the on-board diagnostic system (air bag system) and perform inspection of the system.
