CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution .

The instrument panel (I/P) module is on the passenger part of the I/P. The I/P module contains an igniter charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded air bag.

The air bag connector contains a shorting bar, which makes the circuit shorted when the connector is disconnected. The shorting bar prevents current from travelling through the I/P module during servicing. The shorting bar is disengaged when the connector is connected.
