GENERAL INFORMATION Air Bag Deactivation Procedures

GENERAL MOTORS

The following models are equipped with a driver-side only air bag system: 3500 Series "G" Vans with Camper,
Cutaway, or RV package. All other models are equipped with driver-side and passenger-side air bag systems.

Catera, DeVille, Prizm, Silhouette, Trans Sport and Venture may be equipped with driver and front passenger
side-impact air bags and seat belt pretensioners.

On "C" and "K" series pickups equipped with an air bag system, AIR BAG will be molded into the middle of
the driver-side air bag cover and into the passenger-side air bag vinyl trim cover. There will also be an air bag
warning light on the instrument panel which comes on during bulb check.

SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

Catera

Turn ignition switch from OFF position to RUN position. If air bag system is operating normally, AIR BAG
warning light will come on for 3-4 seconds and then go out. If AIR BAG warning light does not operate as
specified a system malfunction is indicated.

All Other Models

1. On "C" and "K" series pickups equipped with a passenger-side air bag ON/OFF switch, ensure ON/OFF

switch is in ON position.

2. On all models, turn ignition switch to RUN position. Ensure AIR BAG warning light flashes 7 times and

stays off. If AIR BAG warning light operation is as specified, system is functioning normally.

On all models, the following AIR BAG warning light conditions indicate possible system failure:

z

Light does not come on at all.

z

Light comes on while vehicle is driven.

z

Light flashes 7 times and remains on.

z

Light flashes 4 times during bulb check.

z

Light does not flash, but remains on when ignition is turned on.

Air bag system faults are often caused by a disconnected or loose electrical connector due to previous service on
vehicle. Always check Yellow 2-pin connector(s) at base of steering column.

WARNING:

On "C" and "K" series pickups equipped with a passenger-side air bag,
there is a passenger-side air bag ON/OFF switch. This switch is to be
used when child restraint devices are positioned in right front seat. This
switch is ONLY used to disarm passenger-side air bag module, it
CANNOT disarm entire air bag system and should NOT be used in place
of disabling and activating air bag system procedure.

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

Observe the following service precautions when working with air bag systems:

z

Disable air bag system before servicing any air bag system or steering column component. Failure to do
this may result in accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury. If vehicle is equipped with
passenger-side air bag, both modules (driver and passenger) MUST be disabled. See DISABLING &
ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM
.

z

After repairs, stay well away from air bag module(s) and turn ignition switch to RUN position. Ensure
AIR BAG warning light is working properly and no system faults are indicated. See SYSTEM
OPERATION CHECK
.

z

Always wear safety glasses when servicing or handling an air bag.

z

Air bag module must be stored in its original special container until it is ready to be used for service. It
must be stored in a clean, dry place, away from sources of extreme heat, sparks or high electrical energy.

z

When placing a live air bag module on a bench or other surface, always face air bag and trim cover up,
away from surface. This will reduce motion of module if it is accidentally deployed.

z

After deployment, air bag surface may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, which can irritate skin.
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 carry seat belt pretensioner by wiring harness or connector. Seat belt pretensioner can be carried
by piston tube. When handling a live seat belt pretensioner, DO NOT touch seat belt pretensioner in cable
area between buckle and mounting bolt hole. DO NOT cover pretensioner piston tube opening with hands
or point open end at yourself or others.

z

Coil assembly must be replaced whenever air bag is deployed. Replace SDM, driver-side air bag module
or passenger-side air bag module if it has been dropped from a height greater than 3 feet.

z

Electrical sources should never be allowed near inflator on back of air bag module.

z

If water enters the vehicle's interior and soaks the carpet, the SDM or SDM harness connector may need
to be replaced. Inspect the affected area and remove all the water. Repair the water damage, replace the
SDM harness connector, and replace the SDM. Failure to do this may result in accidental air bag
deployment and possible personal injury.

z

If air bag system is not fully functional for any reason, vehicle should not be driven until system is
repaired. 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 repairs can be made.

DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM

WARNING:

System reserve capacitor inside DERM or Sensing and Diagnostic Module
(SDM) retains sufficient voltage to deploy air bag(s) for at least 10
MINUTES after air bag system fuse is removed. Servicing air bag system
before 10 minutes has elapsed may cause accidental air bag deployment
and possible personal injury.
