Passenger Air Bag, Upper

The passenger air bag module requires you to use safety glasses during servicing and you should keep the deployment door facing away from your body to prevent harm. You should never put a live air bag module face down and soap and water handwashing is necessary after handling since sodium hydroxide solution exists on the air bag surface which irritates human skin. The air bag module connectors should never be probed to prevent accidental deployment while replacing damaged deployment doors which are shown through discolorations. Both memory saver devices should be avoided and the RCM fuse removal under ON ignition conditions results in warning lamp illumination which indicates normal SRS functionality. The SRS must work without defects before a customer receives their vehicle because repairs can only be made with new components. The process to remove the passenger air bag module includes deactivating the system power, opening the glove compartment, disconnecting the electrical connector and removing retaining hardware through the glove box opening. The deployment door should be gently raised with a 3/8-inch x 4-inch flat head screwdriver before removing the module through its clips. Installation requires the module to be placed inside the instrument panel before securing it with retaining nuts and bolts followed by aligning the deployment door to seat the retaining clips and installing six new offset fasteners and restoring the electrical connection and glove compartment closure and system power-up.

This indicates a fault in the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS).

No, do not use memory saver devices to reduce personal injury risk.

Check for damage to the steering column, instrument panel knee bolsters and mounting points, instrument panel braces and brackets, instrument panel and its mounting points, seats and their mounting points, safety belts, safety belt buckles, safety belt retractors, as well as SRS wiring, wiring harnesses, and connectors.

Turn the ignition from OFF to ON, reinstall the RCM fuse F2.26 into the CJB, and replace the cover.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) must be connected.

Avoid probing the connectors on the air bag module.

The flashing may start around 30 seconds after the ignition is turned ON, as this is the time required for the RCM to complete SRS testing.

Connect the horn electrical connector and the driver air bag module electrical connector, position the driver air bag module into the steering wheel, install the two bolts, and replace the two steering wheel back cover plugs before repowering the system.

Wash your hands with soap and water to remove any sodium hydroxide residue.

Depower the system.

The air bag warning lamp will illuminate when the ignition is ON, which is normal and does not indicate a fault.
