Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module Replacement (AG1/AG2)

Removal Procedure


Caution: Do not strike or jolt the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). Before applying power to the SDM, make sure that it is securely fastened with the arrow facing toward the front of the vehicle. Failure to observe the correct installation procedure could cause SIR deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.

1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling.




2. Move both driver and passenger seat forward and/or to the rear in order to gain access to console fasteners.
3. Remove the console.
When the console is removed the carpet will be pre-slit in order to provide access to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM).




4. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) (1) from the inflatable restraint SDM wiring harness connector (2).
5. Push down flex lock button (3) and then move sliding connector locking cover (4) to the open position.




6. Remove push-on clip (1) securing SDM wiring harness to console stud.
7. Disconnect the SDM wiring harness connector (3) from the SDM (2).




8. Remove the SDM mounting fasteners (1).
9. Remove the SDM (2) from the console floor (3).

Installation Procedure
