23. Verify that the inside of the vehicle and the area
surrounding the vehicle are clear of all people and
loose or flammable objects.
24. Stretch the driver and passenger deployment harnesses to their full length.
25. Completely cover the windshield area and front door window openings with a drop cloth, blanket o
r
similar item. This reduces the possibility of injury
due to possible fragmentation of the vehicle's
glass or interior.
26. Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air bags. The deployment will
be accompanied by a substantial noise which ma
y
startle the uninformed.
27. Separate the two ends of the driver deployment harness wires.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT WIRES SHALL REMAIN
SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO
A
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN
A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO THE
POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
FINAL STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: W hen the air bag deploys, the rapid gas
expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deplo
y
the air bags.
28. Connect the driver deployment harness wires to a power source to immediately deploy the driver ai
r
bag assembly. Recommended application: 12
volts minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle
battery is suggested.
29. Separate the two ends of the passenge
r
deployment harness wires.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT WIRES SHALL REMAIN
SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO
A
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN
A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO THE
POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
FINAL STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
30. Connect the passenger deployment harness wires
to a power source to immediately deploy the
passenger air bag assembly. Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum.
A vehicle battery is suggested.(Driver air bag
assembly) Put on a pair of shop gloves and safet
y
glasses to protect your hands and eyes from
possible irritation and heat when handling the
deployed air bag assembly. After an air bag
assembly has been deployed, the surface of the
air bag may contain a powdery residue. This
powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to
lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-products o
f
the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust
(similar to lye soap) is produced as a by-product o
f
the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide
then quickly reacts with atmospheric moisture and
is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikel
y
that sodium hydroxide will be present afte
r
deployment (Passenger air bag assembly) The
passenger inflator requires no special precaution
after deployment. 95% of the particulate mission is
potassium chloride (KLC), which is commonly sold
as an edible salt-substitute. Even if water is
applied, post deployment products are relativel
y
pH neutral. Disposing of the inflator by burying it in
a landfill will not produce any hazardous products.
As with any dusty environment, safety goggles,
dust mask and gloves should be worn.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE
METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY
METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE HOT
DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
After an air bag assembly has been deployed, the
metal canister and surrounding areas of the ai
r
bag assembly will be very hot. Do not touch the
metal areas of the air bag assembly for about 30
minutes after deployment. If the deployed air bag
assembly must be moved before it is cool, wea
r
gloves and handle by the air bag or trim cover.
31. Short the driver deployment harness wires b
y
twisting together one end from each. Repeat this
procedure for the passenger deployment harness.
32. Carefully remove the drop cloth from the vehicle and clean off any fragments or discard the drop
cloth entirely.
33. Disconnect the driver deployment harness and the passenger deployment harness from the vehicle
and discard.

34. In the unlikely event that either or both of the air
bag assemblies did not deploy after following
these procedures, proceed immediately with Steps
36 through 37. If the air bag assembly deployed,
proceed to step 35.
35. W ith both air bags deployed, the vehicle may be scrapped in the same manner as a non–SRS
equipped vehicle.
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that the air bag assembly did not deplo
y
after following these procedures.
36. Remove the undeployed air bag assembly (s) from the vehicle. For driver air bag assembly refer to
“Driver Air Bag Assembly Removal“ in this manual.
For passenger air bag assembly, refer to

manual.
WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED ON A BENCH OR
OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE BAG AND
TRIM COVER UP, AWAY FROM THE SURFACE.
THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A FREE SPACE IS
PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO EXPAND
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL
DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.
37. Temporarily store the air bag assembly with the ai
r
bag opening facing up, away from the surface
upon which it rests.
Deployed Air Bag Assembly Handling
Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to
protect your hands and eyes from possible irritation
and heat when handling the deployed air bag
assembly.
After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the
surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue.

Service Precautions for SRS
Component Service
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. If a fastener needs to be
replaced, use the correct part number fastener fo
r
that application. If the correct part number
fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size
and strength (or stronger) may be used. Fasteners
that are not reused, and those requiring a thread
locking compound will be called out. The correct
torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. If the above conditions
are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
REPAIRS.
The SRS control unit in the Driver–Passenger SRS
can maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment
for up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse
powering the SRS control unit is removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembl
y
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time
period to expire.
Disabling The SRS
Removal
Turn the ignition switch to “OFF” and turn the steering
wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight
ahead.
1. Remove the SRS fuse “SRS” from the left dash side lower fuse block or disconnect the battery.
2. Disconnect the yellow connector at the base o
f
steering column.
3. Remove the glove box assembly; Refer to “Passenger air bag assembly replacement” in this
section.
4. Disconnect the passenger air bag assembly yello
w
connector behind the glove box assembly.
CAUTION: With the “SRS” fuse removed and the
ignition switch to “ON,” the “SRS” warning lamp
will be “ON.” This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction.
Enabling The SRS
Installation
Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove the
key.
1. Connect the yellow connector passenger air bag assembly.
2. Install the glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenger Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in
this section.
3. Connect the yellow connector at the base of the steering column.
4. Install the “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to the left dash side lower fuse block or connect the battery.
Turn the ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the
“SRS” warning lamp flashes seven times and then
turns to “LOCK”. If it does not operate as described,
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this
section.
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 65 °C (150 °F).
2.
Air bag assembly, and SRS control unit should not
be used if they have been dropped from a height
of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more.
3. W hen a SRS control unit is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the SRS control unit
pointing toward the front of the vehicle. It is ver
y
important for the SRS control unit to be located flat
on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle
datum line. It is important that the SRS control unit
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign
material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble
code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “SRS”
warning lamp operation and will lead you to the
correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in
extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and
incorrect parts replacements.

Inspections Required After An Accident
CAUTION: Certain SRS components must be
replaced after a frontal crash involving air bag
deployment.
In all types of accidents regardless of “Air Bag”
deployment, visually inspect all of the following
components and replace as required:
– Driver air bag assembly
– Passenger air bag assembly
– Steering wheel
– SRS coil assembly
– Steering column
– Knee bolster and instrument panel mounting attachments
– Driver seat and belt
– Passenger seat and belt
– SRS control unit
The SRS control unit should always be checked
according to “SRS Control Unit Replacement
Guidelines.”
CAUTION: Refer to “SRS control unit Replacement
Guidelines” below for important information on
SRS control unit replacement in both deployment
and non–deployment crashes.
Inspect the SRS coil assembly wiring and the steering
wheel for any sign of scorching, melting, or damage
due to excessive heat. If the coil assembly wire o
r
steering wheel is damaged, replace them. The
steering column and wheel must be dimensionall
y
checked to determine if they are damaged. Refer to
“steering wheel” in this manual.
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. This does
not include remanufactured parts purchased from an
authorized ISUZU/GM Retailer; they may be used fo
r
SRS repairs.
Do not attempt to repair the SRS control unit, the SRS
harness, the SRS coil assembly, the air bag assembly,
the steering wheel, or the steering column. Service o
f
these items is replacement only. Verify replacement
part numbers.
CAUTION: Proper operation of the SRS control
unit and the supplemental restraint system (SRS)
requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure
return it to its original production configuration.
SRS Connectors
CAUTION: The special yellow color connectors are
used for the supplemental restraint system-air bag
circuit. When removing the cable harness, do not
pull the cables otherwise cable disconnection may
occur. When connecting the SRS connector, insert
the connector completely. Imperfect locking may
cause malfunction of the SRS circuit.

Driver Air Bag Assembly
Service Precautions
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
FOLLOWED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY SURFACE MAY CONTAIN
A
SMALL AMOUNT OF SODIUM HYDROXIDE, A BY–
PRODUCT OF THE DEPLOYMENT REACTION
THAT IS IRRITATING TO THE SKIN AND EYES.
MOST OF THE POWDER ON THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY IS HARMLESS. AS A PRECAUTION,
WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES WHEN
HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY,
AND WASH YOUR HANDS WITH MILD SOAP AND
WATER AFTERWARDS.
WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG AND TRIM
COVER ARE POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. NEVER
CARRY THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES
OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE
