Airbag Unit With Igniter, Removing And Installing: Installing
- Observe the safety precautions for pyrotechnical components Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS .
- Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example, connecting a connector), the person handling it must "discharge static electricity". For example, this can be done by briefly touching the door striker.
Install in the reverse order of removal while noting the following:
Make sure the connectors are pushed in all the way and that they engage audibly.
Make sure the wires are not pinched.
-- Connect the connector.
-- Press in the connector to secure it in the pockets on the steering wheel.
-- Position the driver side airbag -1- in the steering wheel and press on the edge with both hands until it locks into place.
The ignition must be on when connecting the battery. If pyrotechnic components (for example, airbag, belt tensioner) are not repaired correctly, they may deploy unintentionally after connecting battery. There must not be anyone in the vehicle interior when connecting the battery.
-- Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition switched on. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected - "indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up" - the ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver seat is positioned all the way back.
-- Check and erase the airbag control module DTC memory because faults can be stored from when the connectors are disconnected. Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
