Passenger-side Air Bag Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • The passenger-side air bag module is a dual inflator type. If one inflator is forced to operate (deploy), the other may operate (deploy) accidentally. To prevent injury while disposing of the air bag module, make sure to operate (deploy) both passenger-side air bag module inflators simultaneously, following the procedure below.
NOTE:
  • The SSTs, two types of adapter harnesses (for inflators No. 1 and No. 2) and two deployment tools are to be used to operate (deploy) the passenger-side air bag module.
  1. Remove the glove compartment. (See GLOVE COMPARTMENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
  2. Using nippers, disconnect the passenger-side air bag module connector as shown in the figure.
    CAUTION:
    • When disconnecting the passenger-side air bag module connector, pull it out straight, but do not rotate it. If it is rotated or pulled out at an angle and the terminals are damaged, the SST (adapter wiring harness) may not be connected and the passenger-side air bag module may not operate (deploy).
