Driver Airbag: Installation

NOTE: Before installation, inspect the rear of the steering wheel for presence of driver airbag retaining clips anti-rattle foam pads. If any of them are damaged or missing, replace them as necessary.
  1. Connect the squib wire to the driver airbag. Make airbag connection by pressing straight in on the connector. The connector should be fully seated. Feel for positive snap to assure positive connection.
  2. Connect the horn wire.
  3. Rotate the steering wheel 90° left or right. 
  4. Place driver airbag into position and firmly snap both pins into place. Listen for the audible click at each pin. Visually check that both pins are properly seated between the legs of the clips. 
  5. Install steering column shrouds (Refer to STEERING/COLUMN/UPPER SHROUD - INSTALLATION) . Be sure all wires are inside of shrouds.
    WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE YET (Refer to ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIRBAG SYSTEM) .
  6. Close hood.
  7. Verify vehicle and system operation.
