However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn steering wheel to place vehicle wheels in straight-ahead position. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position.
  2. Remove SIR or AIRBAG fuse. Remove CPA clip and disconnect Yellow SIR connector at base of steering column (it may be necessary to remove left sound insulator). If equipped with passenger-side air bag, disconnect Yellow SIR connector under right instrument panel or behind glove box door assembly. Some models have access to connector through a trap door in glove box.
  3. Wait 2 minutes before beginning service. All connectors in SIR system use CPA clips to ensure connector retention. Even if system is disconnected, use caution when working near air bags.
