A: REPLACEMENT
1) Position the front wheels straight ahead. (After moving a vehicle 5 m (16
ft) or more with front wheels positioned
straight ahead, make sure that the vehicle moves straight ahead.)
2) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
3) Disconnect the ground cable from battery and wait for at least 60 seconds
before starting work.
CAUTION:
Always refer to "CAUTION" of "General Description" in the Airbag System before
performing service
on the airbag modules. <Ref. to AB-9, CAUTION, General Description.>
4) Remove the driver's airbag module assembly.
- Push in the snap pin using a hexagon wrench or equivalent wrapped with a
protective tape to disengage
the locks (3 locations).
