Disabling System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 GMC Savana Special, 2001 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2001 GMC Savana, and 2001 Chevrolet Chevy Express. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Accidental air bag deployment is possible. Personal injury may result. SDM maintains sufficient voltage to cause air bag deployment for up to one minute after ignition switch is turned off, battery is disconnected, or fuse powering SDM is removed. In order to begin servicing immediately, inflator modules must be removed from deployment loop.
NOTE: When AIR BAGS fuse is removed and ignition switch is in RUN position, AIR BAG warning light will be on. This does not indicate a system malfunction.
  1. Turn steering wheel to place vehicle wheels in straight-ahead position. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and remove key.
  2. Remove AIR BAGS fuse (10-amp) from instrument panel fuse block. Remove driver-side knee bolster. Remove Connector Position Assurance (CPA) clip and disconnect driver-side air bag Yellow 2-pin connector, located at base of steering column. See Fig 1.
  3. Remove passenger-side knee bolster. Remove Connector Position Assurance (CPA) clip and disconnect passenger-side air bag Yellow 2-pin connector located behind passenger-side knee bolster. See Fig 2. System is now disabled.
