Disabling System

  1. Turn all vehicle accessories off. Turn the ignition switch to off. At the Smart Junction Box (SJB), located below the right side of the instrument panel, remove the Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse F2.8 (10A) from the SJB.
  2. Turn the ignition on and visually monitor the air bag indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air bag indicator will remain lit continuously (no flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag indicator does not remain lit continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before proceeding. Turn the ignition off.
  3. Record radio preset frequencies for reprogramming (if equipped). Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least one minute for backup power supply to deplete stored energy.
  4. Remove driver air bag module. See DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE . Connect appropriate air bag simulator to clockspring connector at top of steering column (in place of air bag). See AIR BAG SIMULATOR .
  5. Open the glove compartment door to access the passenger air bag electrical connector. Release the tab and disconnect the passenger air bag module electrical connector. Attach the restraint system diagnostic tool to the vehicle harness side of the passenger air bag module electrical connector. See AIR BAG SIMULATOR . Install the RCM fuse F2.8 (10A) to the SJB. Connect negative battery cable.
