Service Procedure

Service Procedure

Record all the preset radio stations from the radio/

The ignition and the start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or it's components.

Open the hood and disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in SI.

If the vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary battery the auxiliary negative battery cable will also need to be disconnected.

When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure may cause deployment of the SIR components and serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in unnecessary SIR system repairs.
