Disabling Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight ahead.
- Place the ignition switch to the OFF position.
- Remove the key from the ignition switch.
- Locate the body control module fuse center then remove fuse center cover.
- Locate and remove the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the body control module fuse center.
- Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) (1) from the RF/passenger side impact module yellow connector (3) which is located under the passenger seat.
- Disconnect the vehicle harness yellow connector (2) from the RF side impact module yellow connector (3).
IMPORTANT:
This SDM has two fused power inputs. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove both AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the body control module fuse center. With the AIR BAG fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate an SIR system malfunction.
