Disconnect and isolate the negative cable fromthe battery. Wait two minutes for the systemcapacitor to discharge before further Locate the access holes (2) in the lower surfaceof the steering wheel (1) hub rear trim cover neareach of the two horizontal :To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
2 Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment. WARNING:To avoid serious or fatal injury when removing a deployed airbag, rubber gloves, eye protection, and a long-sleeved shirt should be worn. There may be deposits on the airbag cushion and other interior surfaces. In large doses, these deposits may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
3 NOTE:The following procedure is for replacement of an ineffective or damaged Driver AirBag (DAB). If the airbag is ineffective or damaged, but not deployed, review the recommended procedures for Handling Non-Deployed Supplemental Restraints. (Refer to 10 - Restraints - Standard Procedure) . If the DAB has been deployed, review the recommended procedures for Service After A Supplemental Restraint Deployment before removing the airbag from the vehicle. (Refer to 10 - Restraints - Standard Procedure) . NOTE:The graphic for this procedure shows the Driver AirBag (DAB) mounting/horn switch plate (3) and the retainer spring (4) engaged under the hooks (2) of the armature within the steering wheel hub cavity (1) without the DAB trim cover, cushion, housing and inflator present.
4 This was done to provide graphical clarity of the components involved in DAB an appropriately sized pin punch or Allenwrench through one of the steering wheel accessholes. A guide and notch (5) integral to each sideof the steering wheel hub rear trim cover (1) andthe mounting/horn switch plate (3) will assist indirecting the tool to the ends of the retainer spring(4).4. When the tool (3) makes contact with the retainerspring (2), push inward (toward the steeringcolumn) on the tool far enough to disengage theretainer spring from under the hook (1) of thesteering wheel the released side of the DAB away from the steering wheel far enough to insert a trim stick or anotherlong and thin obstacle between the released side of the DAB trim cover and the steering wheel hub will help to prevent the released end of the retainer spring from becoming accidentally engaged again,while the opposite end of the retainer spring is being Steps 3 and 4 for the opposite end of the retainer The DAB trim cover, cushion.
5 Housing and inflator can only be removed as a unit with the mounting/horn switch plate and retainer spring as outlined in the following procedure. NOTE:It is not necessary, but may prove helpful to remove the two screws (2) that secure the lower rear spoke cover (1) to the back of the steering wheel (3) and remove the cover. It will then be possible to observe the Allen wrench or pin punch contacting and releasing the retainer spring. the DAB (1) away from the steering wheel farenough to access the clockspring pigtail wireconnections to the horn switch (2) and the DABinflator initiators (3).
6 The clockspring pigtail wire connectorfrom the floating horn switch plate connector onthe back of the switch clockspring DAB pigtail wire connectorinsulators (1) are secured by integral latches (3)and a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock(2) to the airbag tether cutter and inflatorconnector receptacles, which are located on theback of the floating horn switch plate and theDAB housing. Pull the lock straight out from theconnector insulator, then pull the insulatorsstraight out from the connector receptacles todisengage and disconnect Remove the DAB and floating horn switch platefrom the steering wheel as a the DAB has been deployed, the clockspring and the steering column must also be :Do not pull on the clockspring pigtail wires or pry on the connector insulators to disengage them from the Driver AirBag (DAB) inflator initiator connector receptacles.
7 Improper removal of these pigtail wires and their connector insulators can result in damage to the airbag circuits or the connector insulators. 2014 WK - Restraints / AIR BAG, Knee Blocker/Removal1. Disconnect and isolate the negative cable from the battery. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor todischarge before further Remove the two screws that secure the Knee AirBag (KAB) trim cover to the instrument panel Reach up under and behind the KAB housing and instrument panel support structure to access andremove the two nuts that secure the outer studs of the airbag housing to the instrument panel.
8 It is notnecessary to remove the smaller nut from the center stud. This nut secures the airbag cushionretainer and inflator within the airbag housing. If it is removed inadvertently, it is a smaller flangednut than those on the outer studs allowing it to pass through the center hole of the instrumentpanel support structure without Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat-bladed tool, gently pry the upper and lower edges of the KABtrim cover away from the instrument panel steering column opening cover far enough to disengage theintegral latch features on the back of the trim cover from the Pull the KAB rearward far enough to access and disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connectorfrom the airbag inflator initiator connector receptacle on the right end of the airbag housing.
9 Depress thelatches on each side of the connector insulator and pull the insulator straight out from the airbag inflatorinitiator to disconnect it from the connector Remove the KAB from the the KAB has been deployed, the instrument panel assembly must also be :To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service.
10 This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment. WARNING:To avoid serious or fatal injury when removing a deployed airbag, rubber gloves, eye protection, and a long-sleeved shirt should be worn. There may be deposits on the airbag cushion and other interior surfaces. In large doses, these deposits may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. NOTE:The following procedure is for replacement of an ineffective or damaged Knee AirBag (KAB) (also known as the Inflatable Knee Blocker/IKB). If the airbag is ineffective or damaged, but not deployed, review the recommended procedures for Handling Non-Deployed Supplemental Restraints.
