Air Bag: Service and Repair

1. Disable the SIR system.
2. Loosen screws from back of steering wheel using a number 30 Torx driver (or equivalent) until the inflator module can be released from the steering wheel.
3. Inflator module from steering wheel.

CAUTION: When carrying a live inflator module, make sure the bag and opening is pointed away from you. Never carry the inflator module by the wires or connector on the underside of the module. In case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury. When placing a live inflator module 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 with the inflator module face down and column 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. Otherwise, personal injury may result. Coil assembly connector and connector position assurance (CPA) from inflator module.
