DISABLING SYSTEM
Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect and shield negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds
before working on system. On the passenger side, remove glove box door. Disconnect passenger-side air bag
connector. See Fig. 2
. Remove steering column lower cover. Disconnect driver-side air bag connector-to-spiral
cable connector. See Fig. 3
. Disconnect connector of air bag sensor assembly, located forward of center
console. NOTE: If diagnosing SRS, check for diagnostic codes before disconnecting negative

AIR BAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The air bag sensor assembly is located on the floor inside center console box. It consists of an air bag sensor,
safing sensor and diagnosis, ignition control and drive circuits. It receives signals from the air bag sensor and
determines whether air bag system must be deployed or not.
DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE
The driver-side air bag and inflator is stored in the steering wheel pad. It contains a squib, igniter charge and gas
generant and inflates the air bag when instructed by air bag sensor assembly. Driver-side air bag module is also
called steering wheel pad.
FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR
The front air bag sensors are mounted inside right and left front side members. When sensor detects an impact
of sufficient force (above a predetermined limit), contacts inside the sensor close, sending a signal to the air bag
sensor assembly.
PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE
The passenger-side air bag and inflator is stored in the instrument panel above glove box. It contains a squib,
igniter charge and gas generant and inflates the air bag when instructed by air bag sensor assembly.
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
The seat belt pretensioner system is a component of the front outer seat belt assembly. It contains a squib, gas
generant, wire and piston and operates in the event of a front-end collision.
SPIRAL CABLE
The spiral cable is attached to combination switch and is used as an electrical joint between chassis wiring
harness and driver-side air bag module. Spiral cable is also known as clockspring.
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Observe the following precautions when servicing air bag system:
Disable air bag system before servicing any air bag system or steering column component. Failure to do
this could result in accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury. See DISABLING &
ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
When diagnosing air bag system, always check for diagnostic codes before disconnecting battery.
After turning ignition switch to LOCK position and disconnecting negative battery cable, wait at least 90
seconds before workin
g on air bag system. Air bag system is equipped with a back-up power source that
