REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Clockspring
Removal
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury
in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away from
your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. This will
reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium
hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your
hands with soap and water afterwards.
WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air
bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
WARNING: Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be replaced,
not repainted.
WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only.
Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible
violation of vehicle safety standards.
NOTE: Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition,
install the original part and perform the diagnostic procedure again.
1. Prepare the vehicle for clockspring removal. 1. WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the
backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or
side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before
servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near the front or side air
bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers,
seats and hood latches.
