Initiate the service work by handling the battery negative terminal first before taking safety measures. Start by removing the instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly center together with the heater control knob as well as the instrument cluster finish panel and the instrument panel box followed by the instrument panel finish panel lower center. The service starts with disconnecting
Air Bag Sensor connectors from the air bag sensor assembly center yet keeping the sensor assembly attached to the connector followed by removing three securing bolts for the air bag sensor assembly center. Inspection of the air bag sensor assembly center must be performed after removal. Begin installation after the
Ignition Switch is off and disconnecting the negative battery terminal with a wait period of 90 seconds before moving ahead. Secure the air bag sensor assembly center in position through its 3 bolts until they reach a torque level of 17.5 N.m (178 kgf.cm, 13 ft.lbf). Ensure that connectors fitted to the air bag sensor assembly center have no slack while following the protocol for the water-proof sheet placement. Complete the inspection procedure by checking the SRS warning light.
