Double-Lock Connectors
DOUBLE-LOCK CONNECTOR OPERATIONThe connectors in the air bag system are double-lock connectors. Disconnect them as follows:
Air Bag System:
1. Push the knob of the orange connector down and pull the connector out.
2. Push the knob of the blue connector in and pull the connector out.
Note:
- When the 2-pin connector of the air bag module and clock spring is disconnected, a short occurs that will prevent the air bag from deploying during servicing.
Warning:
- Reconnecting the 2-pin connector of the air bag module and clock spring with pin B broken can be dangerous. In an accident, the air bag will not deploy, causing serious injury or death. If pin B is broken, replace the combination switch or harness.
3. Connect the connectors in the reverse order of disconnection. Make sure pin B is inserted properly into part A. This will fix the short caused by disconnection and allow current to flow to the air bag module again.
