REMOVAL

WARNING:

Before servicing the steering column the airbag system must be disarmed. Failure to do so may result in accidental deployment of the airbag and possible personal injury.

WARNING:

When an undeployed airbag module is to be removed from the vehicle, first disconnect the battery ground cable and isolate it. Allow the system capacitor to discharge for a minimum of two minutes before starting any removal.

NOTE:

Do not disconnect the Hands On Module (HOM) wire harness connector, if equipped. The steering wheel and HOM must be serviced as one component.

Remove the Driver Air Bag (DAB). Refer to AIR BAG, DRIVER, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
