Passenger Air Bag Module: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda Tribute. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and deployment door pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING:
  • Do not set a live air bag module down with the deployment door face down. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING:
  • Air bag modules with discolored or damaged deployment doors must be installed new, not repainted. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
  • Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the sensor or any other damaged supplemental restraint system (SRS) components whether or not the air bag is deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
  • The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system repair only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
NOTE:
NOTE:
  • Restraint system diagnostic tools MUST be installed under the seats in the side air bag and safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) to floor connectors.
NOTE:
  • Diagnostics or repairs are not to be performed on a side air bag system and/or a safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) system with the seats in the vehicle. Prior to attempting to diagnose/repair the side air bag system and/or a safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) system the seats must be removed from the vehicle and the restraint system diagnostic tools must be installed in the side air bag and the safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) connectors at the floor connectors. The restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle over the road.
NOTE:
  • Diagnostics may be performed on seat systems other than the side air bag or the safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) system (lumbar, climate controlled, heated, power seat track) with the seat installed in the vehicle as long as the restraint system diagnostic tools are installed under the seats in the side air bag and safety belt pretensioner to floor connectors.
NOTE:
  • After diagnosing/repairing a seat system the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
NOTE:
  • Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic procedure again.
NOTE:
  • Make sure the J-clips are correctly aligned to the holes in the passenger air bag module before positioning it in the instrument panel.
