Driver's Inflator Module

INFLATOR MODULE - SIR






Important: In the event deployment has occurred, inspect the SIR coil assembly wire for any signs of scorching, melting or damage due to excessive heat. If the coil assembly wire is damaged, replace the coil assembly.

Remove or Disconnect

^ Disable SIR system.

1. Screws from back of steering wheel retaining inflator module to wheel.
2. Inflator module from steering wheel.
3. CPA and SIR coil electrical connector at inflator module.

CAUTION: When carrying a live inflator module, make sure the bag and trim cover are pointed away from you. Never carry the inflator module by the wires or connector on the underside of the module. In case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury. When placing a live inflator module on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover up, away from the surface. Never rest a steering column assembly on the steering wheel with the inflator module face down and column vertical. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.

Install or Connect

2. Inflator module to steering wheel.
