Disabling & Activating Air Bag System: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 110 other vehicles, including the 2003 Pontiac Vibe, 2003 Pontiac Sunfire, 2003 Pontiac Montana, 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, and 2003 Pontiac Grand Am. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) maintains a reserve energy supply. Deployment power is available for as long as one minute after disconnecting battery power. Servicing vehicle before this time limit is reached may cause accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury.
NOTE:
When AIR BAG or SIR fuse is removed, and ignition is in ON position, AIR BAG warning light will illuminate. This is normal operation and does not indicate SIR system malfunction.
