- Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds. Reconnect passenger-side air bag module harness connector. Reconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 2 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Clear DTCs. See CLEARING CODES under DIAGNOSTICS. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Retrieve codes. See RETRIEVING CODES under DIAGNOSTICS. If DTC 53/B0105 is displayed, replace passenger-side air bag module. If DTC 53/B0105 is not displayed, the system is functioning properly at this time. Check for intermittent fault.
