Complete System Deactivation
NOTE:
Complete system deactivation should be performed only when Air Bag Restraint System (ABRS) is not functioning properly and vehicle needs to be driven.
Disconnect and isolate negative battery cable. Disconnect 2-way Yellow clockspring harness connector, located on top of fuse block between clockspring and instrument panel wiring harness. Clockspring connector may also be disconnected at Air Bag System Diagnostic Module (ASDM).
WARNING:
Wait about 2 minutes after disconnecting negative battery cable before servicing air bag system. System reserve capacitor maintains air bag system voltage for about 2 minutes after battery is disconnected. Servicing air bag system before 2 minutes may cause accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury.
