DEPLOYED
Following an airbag deployment, the vehicle inte-
rior will contain a powdery residue. This residue is
primarily sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), used as
an airbag cushion lubricant. However, there will also
be traces of sodium hydroxide powder, a chemical
byproduct of the generant used for airbag deploy-
ment. Since this powder can irritate the skin, eyes,
nose or throat, be sure to wear safety glasses, rubber
gloves and a long-sleeved shirt during cleanup (Fig.
1).
If you experience skin irritation during
cleanup, run cool water over the affected area.
Also, if you experience irritation of the nose or
throat, exit the vehicle for fresh air until the ir-
ritation ceases. If irritation continues, see a
physician.
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Remove the airbag and airbag module from the ve-
hicle. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual
powder from the vehicle interior. Clean from outside
the vehicle and work your way inside, so that you
avoid kneeling or sitting on an uncleaned area.
Be sure to vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as
well (Fig. 2). Run the blower on low and vacuum any
powder expelled from the plenum. You may need to
vacuum the interior of the car a second time to re-
cover all of the powder.
Place the deployed airbag and module in your ve-
hicular scrap pile.
AIRBAG MODULE REMOVE/INSTALL
WARNING: THIS AIRBAG SYSTEM IS A SENSITIVE,
COMPLEX MECHANICAL UNIT. BEFORE ATTEMPT-ING TO REMOVE OR INSTALL THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM OR RELATED STEERING WHEEL AND
STEERING COLUMN COMPONENTS YOU MUST
FIRST DISARM THE AIRBAG FIRING MECHANISM.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN ACCIDEN-
TAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL IN-
JURY.
When removing a deployed airbag module,
rubber gloves, eye protection and long-sleeved
shirt should be worn. There may be deposits on
the airbag module and other interior surfaces,
which can cause irritation to the skin and eyes
in large doses.

counter-clockwise to its travel limit. When the screw
has reached its travel limit it will extend 1 inch
above the outer surface of the steering wheel hub
cover. This is done using an 8mm socket and manual
drive. DO NOT USE POWER-DRIVEN TOOLS.
(3) From back side of steering wheel, remove 4
nuts attaching airbag module to steering wheel (Fig.
3). This is done using a 10mm socket and manual
drive. DO NOT USE POWER-DRIVEN TOOLS.
(4) Remove airbag module from steering wheel.
(5) Reverse removal procedures to install. Tighten
airbag module attaching nuts to 9 to 11 Nzm (80 to
100 in. lbs.). Exit vehicle and arm airbag by reaching
through driver's side window and turning arming
screw clockwise to its travel limit. Arming screw
torque should not exceed 1.1 to 1.7 Nzm (10-15 in.
lbs.). Reinstall plastic cover plug in steering wheel
hub.
