REMOVAL
1.Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait for at least three minutes before beginning work.
2. Remove the glove box. (Refer to BD group)
3. Disconnect the PAB connector and remove the PAB mounting bolts. (Refer to BD group)
4.Remove the crash pad. (Refer to BD group)
Replace the crash pad which is damaged while PAB is deployed.
5. Remove the heater duct from the crash pad.
6.Remove the mounting nuts from the crash pad. Then remove the passenger airbag.
The removed airbag module should be stored in a clean, dry place with the airbag coushion up.

INSTALLATION
1.Disconnect the negative ( - ) cable from battery and wait for at least three minutes.
2. Remove ignition key from the vehicle.
3. Place a Passenger Airbag (PAB) on the crash pad and tighten the Passenger Airbag (PAB) mounting nuts.
Tightening Torque
: 0.7 ~ 0.8 kgf.m (7.0 ~ 8.0 N.m, 5.2 ~ 5.9 lb.ft)
4. Install the heater duct to the crash pad.
5. Install the crash pad. (Refer to BD group)
6. Tighten the PAB mounting bolts.
Tightening Torque
: 1.2 ~ 1.3 kgf.m (12.0 ~ 13.0 N.m, 8.9 ~ 9.6 lb.ft)
7. Connect the Passenger Airbag (PAB) harness connector to the SRS main harness connector.
8. Reinstall the bolve box. (Refer to BD group)
9. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
10. After installing the Passenger Airbag (PAB), confirm proper system operation:
a. Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.

Curtain Airbag (CAB) Module

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
Curtain airbags are installed inside the headliner (LH and RH) and protect the driver and passenger from danger when
side crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment of curtain airbag by using side impact sensor (SIS) signal.
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module even if you are using the specified tester. If
the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.

2. Remove ignition key from the vehicle.
3. Install a Curtain Airbag (CAB) on the mounting bracket.
4. Tighten the CAB mounting bolts (13EA).
Tightening Torque (CAB Mounting Bolt)
: 1.9 ~ 2.7 kgf.m(18.6 ~ 26.5 Nm, 13.7 ~ 19.5 lb.ft)
a.Never twist the airbag module when installing it. If the module is twisted, airbag module may operate
abnormally.
5. Connect the CAB connector (front & rear).
6. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
7. After installing the Curtain Airbag (CAB), confirm proper system operation:
a. Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.

Side Airbag (SAB) Module

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
The two Side Airbags (SAB) are installed inside the driver and passenger seat and protects the driver and front
passenger from danger when side crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment of side airbag by using Side
Impact Sensor (SIS) signal.
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified
tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious
personal injury.
