Switch, Parking Brake: Removal
WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Reach under the left end of the instrument panel to access and disconnect the body wire harness connector from the terminal of the park brake switch (2) located on the park brake lever mechanism (1) on the left cowl side inner panel.
- Remove the fastener (3) that secures the park brake switch to the park brake lever mechanism.
- Remove the switch from the park brake lever mechanism.
