Disabling System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: SDM maintains sufficient voltage to cause air bag deployment for up to 10 minutes after ignition switch is turned OFF, battery is disconnected, or fuse powering SDM is removed. In order to begin servicing immediately, inflator modules must be removed from deployment loop.
NOTE: When AIR BAG fuse is removed and ignition switch is in RUN position, AIR BAG warning light will be on. This does not indicate a system malfunction.
  1. Turn steering wheel to place vehicle wheels in straight-ahead position. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position.
  2. Remove right-side instrument panel access hole cover to access fuse block. Remove SIR fuse (15-amp) from fuse block. Remove driver-side instrument panel insulator. Remove Connector Position Assurance (CPA) clip and disconnect driver-side Yellow 2-pin connector at base of steering column. See Fig 1. Disconnect passenger-side CPA and passenger-side Yellow 2-pin connector, located to right of steering column. See Fig 2. System is now disabled.
