Steering Wheel Module Replacement
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT STEERING WHEEL MODULE REPLACEMENT
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 3.
CAUTION:
- Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Caution in Service Precautions.
- A deployed dual stage inflator module will look the same whether one or both stages were used. Always assume a deployed dual stage inflator module has an active stage 2. Improper handling or servicing can activate the inflator module and cause personal injury.
- Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
2. On the back side of the steering wheel are 2 circular openings, place the wheel so that one opening is on top.
3. Using a blunt-end tool, push the spring fastener inward through the access hole. Repeat the step for the other opening.
TIP:
1. Release the connector position assurance (CPA) retainer.
2. Disconnect the electrical connectors.
3. Fully deploy the module before disposal. If the module was replaced under warranty, fully deploy and dispose of the module after the required retention period.
