System Repair
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 1995 GMC Vandura Special, 1995 GMC Vandura, 1995 GMC Rally Camper Special, 1995 GMC Rally, and 1995 Chevrolet Sportvan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Before any repairs are performed, disconnect and shield battery ground. Because system has ability to retain voltage, remove SIR or AIRBAG fuse, and disconnect Yellow SIR connector at base of steering column, and, on vehicles with passenger-side air bags, disconnect Yellow SIR connector at base of right instrument panel (behind knee bolster).
Wait 2 minutes before working on vehicle. All connectors used on SIR system use Connector Position Assurance (CPA) clips to ensure connector retention. Even if system is disconnected, always use caution when working near inflator modules.
