Disabling & Activating Air Bag System

  1. To disable air bag system, turn ignition switch to OFF position. Remove SIR fuse from fuse block. Disconnect Yellow SIR connector at base of steering column. On models equipped with passenger-side air bag, also disconnect Yellow connector under right side of instrument panel. INFLATABLE RESTRAINT indicator light will come on. This is normal.
  2. Wait 10 minutes before working on vehicle. All connectors used on SIR system use Connector Position Assurance (CPA) clips to ensure connector retention.
  3. To activate air bag system, turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect Yellow 2-pin connector and CPA clip at base of steering column and/or under right side of instrument panel. Install SIR fuse. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. INFLATABLE RESTRAINT indicator light should flash 7 times, then go off.
