Air Bag Deactivation Procedures
SPECIAL CARE DURING MECHANICAL REPAIRS
In some instances, it may be necessary to remove the steering column or instrument panel to access blower
motor housing, heater assembly, evaporator assembly and other related A/C-heater system components.
Observe specific manufacturer SERVICE PRECAUTIONS when working on vehicle with an air bag system.
Electrical sources should NEVER be allowed near inflator on back of air bag module. NEVER probe air bag
system electrical wires with an analog volt-ohmmeter or test light. Always disable air bag system before
servicing vehicle. See appropriate DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM procedure. Failure to
disable system properly may result in accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury.
If air bag system is not fully functional for any reason, DO NOT drive vehicle until system is repaired and
functions properly. DO NOT remove bulbs, modules, sensors or other components, or in any way disable
system from operating normally. If air bag system is not functional, park vehicle until system is repaired and
functions properly.
CHRYSLER CORP.
All Chrysler vehicles are equipped with driver-side and passenger-side air bags. Unless specific models are
mentioned, the following procedures apply to all models with an air bag system.
SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
1. Ensure negative battery cable or negative battery cable remote terminal is disconnected and isolated.
Connect Diagnostic Read-Out Box III (DRB-III) scan tool to 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC) located
left of steering column at lower edge of instrument panel. Turn ignition switch to ON position and exit
vehicle. Ensure latest version of correct DRB cartridge is being used.
2. After ensuring there is no one inside vehicle, connect negative battery cable or negative battery cable
remote terminal. Using DRB, read and record active and any stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Diagnose as necessary. Clear DTCs and recheck for DTCs. If a problem still exists DTC data will not
clear.
3. Ignition switch should still be in ON position. Ensure no one is inside vehicle. From a position outside
vehicle and away from air bag modules (in case of air bag deployment), turn ignition switch to OFF
position for about 10 seconds, and then back to ON position. Observe AIR BAG indicator. It should come
on for 6-8 seconds and then go out, indicating system is functioning properly.
4. If AIR BAG indicator fails to come on, comes on and stays on, or comes on while driving, a system
malfunction exists. Perform air bag system self-diagnostics, and repair air bag system.
WARNING:
To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and carefully
follow all appropriate SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING &
ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM procedures.

a clean, dry place, away from sources of extreme heat, sparks and high electrical energy.
z
When placing a live air bag on a bench or other surface, always face air bag and trim cover up, away from
surface. This will reduce motion of module if accidentally deployed.
z
When a steering column has been removed from vehicle with an air bag module attached, never place
column on the floor or any other surface with the steering wheel or air bag module face down.
z
After deployment, air bag surface may contain sodium hydroxide deposits, which irritate skin. Sodium
hydroxide is a product of gas generant combustion. Always wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a long-
sleeved shirt during clean-up. Wash hands using mild soap and water. Follow correct disposal procedures.
z
When carrying a live air bag module, point trim cover away from your body to minimize injury in case of
accidental deployment.
z
DO NOT disconnect or connect air bag module while battery is connected. Never disassemble air bag
module. There are no serviceable parts within the module.
z
The air bag control module contains an impact sensor which enables the system to deploy air bags. Never
strike the air bag control module. If air bag control module is accidentally dropped, module MUST be
replaced.
z
Clockspring, air bag module, and seat belt pre-tensioner (if equipped) MUST be replaced if air bag is
deployed.
z
On Caravan, Town & Country and Voyager, when driver-side air bag is deployed because of a collision,
the complete steering column assembly, steering column clockspring, steering wheel, driver-side air bag
cover/horn module, and lower steering coupler MUST be replaced.
z
On Dakota, Durango and Ram Van/Wagon, driver-side air bag module inflator assembly contains sodium
azide and potassium nitrate. These materials are poisonous and extremely flammable; contact with acid,
water, or heavy metals may produce harmful and irritating gases.
z
On Dakota and Ram Pickup, ALWAYS remove and replace the air bag control module and its mounting
bracket as a unit. DO NOT transfer the module to another bracket.
z
On Ram Pickups, whenever passenger-side air bag module is removed and reinstalled, air distribution
panel outlet barrels in passenger-side air bag door panel outlet housings MUST be replaced. Panel outlet
barrels must be replaced with NEW barrels. Occupant injuries could result during air bag deployment if
outlet barrels are not replaced.
z
On Ram Pickups, after air bag deployment, both air bag modules, clockspring, and the steering column
assembly MUST be replaced. During air bag deployment, these components will be damaged or
weakened, and are NOT intended to be reused.
