Service of the Air Bag Control Module requires beginning by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. Service professionals should disconnect the shift lever knob sub-assembly for manual transaxles followed by upper console panel removal along with the rear console box cover and finally the rear console box sub-assembly. The next service step involves taking out the front console box. The procedure continues after component removal by disconnecting the center
Air Bag Sensor assembly but maintain the negative battery cable disconnected because this precaution minimizes the risk of accidental Air Bag deployment. The sensor disconnection starts by using a lever to unlock the connector holder followed by bolt removal of three screws which secure the Air Bag sensor.
