Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable prior to starting any
Air Bag system service to make sure the air bags aren't accidentally deployed and keep you safe. Give the system capacitor two minutes to discharge before handling air bag parts. Make sure the
Steering Wheel and front wheels point straight forward, let the latch go and lift the hood. Section off the air bag by taking it out of the steering wheel and separating the wires from the back connector of the module, as well as the connector from the 2-way remote radio control harness. Afterward, get rid of the steering wheel and the shrouds around the steering column. Unscrew the four connectors-2-way and 5-way-attached to the Clock Spring and the instrument panel wiring harness, then take out the Clock Spring by pressing its two tabs. After you finish installation, run through the steps listed above again, before conditionally connect the battery and apply the Diagnosis and Testing for air bag System Test as stated in the manual.
