Passenger side airbag door

WARNING:

  •  THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS A SENSITIVE, COMPLEX ELECTROMECHANICAL UNIT. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE OR SERVICE ANY AIRBAG SYSTEM OR RELATED STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENTS YOU MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE. THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
  •  WHEN REMOVING A DEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE, RUBBER GLOVES, EYE PROTECTION, AND A LONG-SLEEVED SHIRT SHOULD BE WORN. THERE MAY BE DEPOSITS ON THE AIRBAG MODULE AND OTHER INTERIOR SURFACES. IN LARGE DOSES, THESE DEPOSITS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE SKIN AND EYES.

REMOVAL

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. If either of the airbags has not been deployed, wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service.

(2) Remove the passenger side airbag module from the instrument panel. Refer to Passenger Side Airbag Module in the Removal and Installation section of this group for the procedures.

(3) Place the passenger side airbag module on a suitable work surface. Slide the passenger side airbag door sideways on the airbag module until the keyed holes in the returns of the upper and lower airbag door mounting flanges clear the three tabs on the top and the bottom of the airbag module housing (Fig. 11).

(4) Disengage the keyed holes in the returns of the upper and lower airbag door mounting flange returns from the three tabs on the top and the bottom of the passenger side airbag module housing.

(5) Remove the passenger side airbag door from the airbag module.
