Removal and Installation

WARNING: Removal of front side air bag module should only be done to allow deployment of front side air bag module prior to disposal of seatback assembly.

For Wiring Diagrams, refer to "Wiring Diagrams and Trouble Diagnosis".

CAUTION:
- On vehicles equipped with side air bags, before removing the front seat, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect the negative and positive battery cables and wait a minimum of 3 minutes.
- When checking the power seat circuitry for continuity using a circuit tester, do not confuse the seat connector with the side air bag connector. Doing so could cause the side air bag to deploy.
- Do not drop, tilt, or bump the side air bag module installed in the seat. Always handle it with care.
- Disconnect the side air bag harness connector, if equipped, and the power seat switch harness connector from under the seat before removing the seat. Refer to "Removal".
