DISABLING AND REMOVAL OF THE AIRBAG MODULE 1. Position the steering wheel so that it is pointed straight ahead. Write down all of your radio presets as these may be lost when you disconnect the battery cable. 2. NOTICE - Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait at least 1 full minute for the circuit to completely discharge before proceeding. CAUTION: Failure to fully deplete the backup power supply could result in an accidental deployment and possible injury. 3.

2. Remove the horn switch assembly by loosening the 4 T-30 Torx screws (numbers 1 and 4) holding the contact plates to the steering wheel and remove this entire mechanism (2) from the wheel. Note orientation (wires at the top of the switch mechanism) so you do not reinstall upside down. See Illustration 4 above. 3. Disconnect the wheel switch wiring harness at the column connector.

NOTE: When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position the air bag indicator light should flash then turn off.
