Driver's Inflator Module

INFLATOR MODULE - SIR

CAUTION: When performing service on or around SIR components or SIR wiring, follow the procedure to temporarily disable SIR system. Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag deployment, personal injury or otherwise unneeded SIR repairs.






Remove or Disconnect

1. Disable SIR System.
2. Two screws at back of steering wheel.
3. Position inflator module to gain access to wire connectors. Note wire routing for assembly reference.
4. Push in and rotate horn contact lead counterclockwise, and remove from horn tower.
5. Horn contact lead.
6. Retainer (CPA) from SIR wiring connector.
7. SIR wiring connector from inflator module.
8. Electrical connectors from steering wheel control switch wiring, if equipped.
9. Inflator module.

CAUTION: When carrying a live inflator module, make sure bag and trim cover are pointed away from body. Never carry the inflator module by wires or connector on underside of module. In case of an accidental deployment, bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury. When placing a live inflator module on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover away from surface. Never rest a steering column on the steering wheel with inflator module face down and column vertical. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment. Otherwise personal injury may result.

Install or Connect

1. Steering wheel control switch, if equipped.
2. Retainer (CPA) to SIR wiring connector.
3. Route horn contact lead through steering wheel and into cam tower; press lead into cam tower and rotate clockwise into locked position.
