Caution: Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Caution in the Preface section.

1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling .
2. Remove the yellow connector (2) on the inflatable restraint I/P module from the yellow connector (1) on the vehicle harness.
3. Remove the yellow connector (2) on the inflatable restraint I/P module from the I/P bracket (3).



4. Remove the I/P upper trim pad. Refer to Instrument Panel Upper Trim Pad Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gages and Console.
5. Note the wire harness routing position in order to assist in re-assembly.
6. Push the yellow connector (2) on the inflatable restraint I/P module away from the I/P (3).



7. Remove the inflatable restraint I/P module mounting fasteners (2).

Important: When removing the inflatable restraint I/P module (3), do not damage the inflatable restraint I/P module pigtail (4).

8. Remove the inflatable restraint I/P module (3) from the I/P (1).
9. Fully deploy the module before disposal. If the module was replaced under warranty, fully deploy and dispose of the module after the required retention period. Refer to Inflator Module Handling and Scrapping .

Important: When installing the inflatable restraint I/P module (3), do not damage the inflatable restraint I/P module pigtail (4).

1. Route the inflatable restraint I/P module pigtail (4) down through the I/P (1).
2. Install the inflatable restraint I/P module (3) to the I/P (1).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

3. Install the mounting fasteners (2) to the inflatable restraint I/P module.

Tighten
Tighten the fasteners to 9 N·m (80 lb in).




4. Route the wiring harness (2) to the inflatable restraint I/P module in place in order to secure the yellow connector clip to the I/P (3).
5. Install the I/P upper trim pad. Refer to Instrument Panel Upper Trim Pad Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gages and Console.



6. Clip the yellow connector (2) on the inflatable restraint I/P module to the I/P bracket (3).
7. Install the yellow connector (2) on the inflatable restraint I/P module to the yellow connector (1) on the vehicle harness.
8. Install the CPA (4) to the inflatable restraint I/P module connector (2).
9. Install the right insulator panel. Refer to Instrument Panel Accessory Trim Plate Replacement - Right Side in Instrument Panel, Gages and Console.
10. Enable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling .
