Inflator Module - Replacement

The horn switch is part of the inflator module and is not serviced separately.

WARNING: When performing service on or around Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) components or SIR wiring, follow the procedure to temporarily disable SIR system. Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag deployment, personal injury or otherwise unneeded SIR system repairs.

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Disable SIR System.
2. Two screws at back of steering wheel.
3. Position inflator module to gain access to wire connectors. Note wire routing for assembly reference.
4. Push in and rotate horn contact lead counterclockwise, and remove from the steering column horn tower.
5. Horn contact lead.
6. Retainer (CPA) from SIR wiring connector.
7. SIR wiring connector from inflater module.
8. On models so equipped, disconnect steering wheel control switch connector.
9. Inflater module.

WARNING: When carrying a live inflator module, make sure bag and trim cover are pointed away from body. Never carry the Inflator module by wires or connector on underside of module. In case of an accidental deployment, 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 away from surface. Never rest a steering column on the steering wheel with inflator module face down and column vertical. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment. Otherwise personal injury may result.

1. Steering wheel control switch connector it equipped.
2. Retainer (CPA) to SIR wiring connector.
3. Route horn contact lead to steering column tower; push lead into horn tower and rotate clockwise to locked position.
4. Horn ground lead.
5. SIR connector and retainer (CPA).
6. Inflator module to steering wheel. Install top surface of module first to ease assembly and fit. Do not pinch any wires.
