Passenger Airbag Deactivation Switch (All Except NAS)

The passenger air bag deactivation switch provides a method of manually disabling the passenger air bag. The switch is installed in the front passenger end of the instrument panel and operated by the ignition key.

When the passenger air bag deactivation switch is operated, it changes a ground connection between two pins in the connectors of the RCM. When the passenger air bag deactivation switch is selected to OFF, the RCM disables the passenger air bag and, if the front passenger seat is occupied, illuminates the passenger air bag deactivation indicator.
