SIR Wiring Repair
Connector RepairCAUTION: Before attempting any repairs, the supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR) system must be disabled. Refer to Disabling the SIR System.
The terminals in the SIR system are made of a special metal to provide necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low-energy circuits. These terminals are available only in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs.
Wire Repair
CAUTION: Before attempting any repairs, the SIR system must be disabled. Refer to Disabling the SIR System.
Do not repair wires or connectors attached to the passenger airbag module or the clockspring. If the wires or connectors on the clockspring or passenger airbag are damaged, the clockspring or passenger airbag must be replaced. If any other wire is damaged, the wire should be repaired by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gauge. To protect the repair, spliced wires must be sealed with heat-shrink tubing. If the splices are not made correctly, the result will be a high-resistance connection, and the AIRBAG indicator will turn on.
