Don't forget to unplug the airbag (passenger side) before you pull too hard.

yes, you should unplug the battery before you do this. but the airbag come out WITH the dash, so you need to unscrew and unplug it before you can get the dash completely off.

Revival from the dead! To access the bolt <B> or <C> do I need to remove the A pillar? It is hard to tell from the diagram.

SquallLHeart

Everyone make sure when you do this to unplug the -neg battery terminal and you have to WAIT 90sec before starting to unplug/mess with the dash.

airbags deployment is based off a signal sent from velocimeters.
i fail to see how unplugging it would deploy it.
but thats just me.

SquallLHeart

yea.. i leave the battery connected even when i take apart the steering wheel.

game-over

That being said. Do I need to replace any sensors that would make the bags go off.

Does anyone know how that works.

You will have to replace all the deployed airbags, any damaged sensors, and possibly replace the SRS ECU
