FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001602203
The passenger air bag module originally installed in the vehicle uses direct-connect style harness connectors.
Service replacement passenger air bag modules use tab-locking style harness connectors. If the passenger
air bag module is replaced or if the direct-connect harness connectors are damaged, the vehicle wiring har-
ness must be modified to allow connection of the se rvice replacement passenger air bag module. Refer to
"Service Replacement Passenger Air Bag Module" within the INSTALLATION procedure in this section for wir-
ing harness modifiation procedure.
REMOVAL
CAUTION:
• Do not attempt to repair or replace damaged di rect-connect front passenger air bag module connec-
tors. If a direct-connect harness connector is damaged, the front passenger air bag must be
replaced and the wiri ng harness modified.
• Before servicing SRS, turn the ignition switch off, disco nnect both battery cables and wait at least
three minutes.

WIRING HARNESS MODIFICATION
The passenger air bag module originally installed in t he vehicle uses direct-connect style harness connectors.
Service replacement passenger air bag modules use t ab-locking style harness connectors. If the passenger
air bag module is replaced or if the direct-connect harness connectors are damaged, the vehicle wiring har-
ness must be modified to allow connection of t he service replacement passenger air bag module.
NOTE:
The wiring harness modification is to be performed only if the vehicle is equipped with the original passenger
air bag which uses direct-connect harness connectors. If the passenger air bag is to be replaced in a vehicle
that has already had the service replacement passenger air bag installed, the wiring harness modification is
not required.
CAUTION:
• Do not attempt to repair or replace damaged dir ect-connect front passenger air bag module connec-
tors. If a direct-connect harness connector is damaged, the front passenger air bag must be
replaced and the wiri ng harness modified.
• Before servicing SRS, turn the igni tion switch off, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3
