SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 8

SIR DISABLING AND ENABLING ZONE 8

DISABLING PROCEDURE
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
3. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
4. Locate the body control module (BCM) fuse center then remove fuse center cover.




5. Locate and remove the AIRBAG (1) and SDM (2) fuses from the BCM fuse center.

IMPORTANT: This inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) has 2 fused power inputs. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove both AIR BAG and SDM fuses from the BCM fuse center. With the AIR BAG fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate an SIR system malfunction.
