Removal
- Press the latches and lower the glove compartment down.
- Remove the screws, disconnect the connector and remove the passenger airbag. Store the removed airbag in a clean, dry place with the front side facing up. Do not place any foreign objects on the airbag that could cause serious injury when the airbag deploys.
Examination
- If any defect is found in the airbag during inspection, replace it.
Warning: Do not attempt to measure the resistance of the airbag inflator circuit as this may result in unauthorized deployment of the driver airbag.
- Check the airbag cover for dents, cracks, or deformation.
- Check the connectors for damage and the connector contacts for deformation.
- Check the pyrotechnic gas generator, which converts the control electrical signal into an ignition signal, resulting in the decomposition of the powder, inflating the airbag bag (Fig. 19.120).

- Connect the cable to the negative terminal of the battery.
- Turn on the ignition.
- Check that the SRS indicator light stays on for 7 seconds after turning the ignition switch to the ON position, then stays on for at least 5 seconds after turning the ignition switch to the OFF position. This indicates that the SRS system is functioning normally.
