Be careful not to damage any parts when replacing the airbag module, and follow the procedure exactly. • • If, before removing the airbag module, you suspect that it may be a counterfeit or otherwise suspect, do not remove the airbag module. Contact your DPSM for assistance. • Make sure you have reviewed the SRS Precautions and Procedures in the service repair information before doing the REPAIR PROCEDURE. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position and check if the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds, then goes off. • • If the indicator comes on, then goes off after about 6 seconds, go to step 2. If the indicator does not come on, or if it stays on, contact your DPSM for assistance. 2. Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least 3 minutes before continuing. 3. Remove the front passenger's airbag module. Refer to the service information. 4. Place the airbag module, face down, on a clean shop towel.

Page 2 of 7 5. Visually inspect the airbag and the inflator for any unusual writing or markings. • • If there is nothing unusual about the airbag or the inflator, go to step 6. If there are any unusual markings, like an incorrect label or a model year written in marker, the airbag and inflator may be a counterfeit part. For more information about counterfeit airbags, you can refer to safercar.gov, enter keywords MANAGING COUNTERFEIT, and select Recommended Dealer Guidance for Managing Counterfeit Air Bags from the list. If you suspect that the airbag or inflator is counterfeit, do not continue this procedure. Contact your DPSM for assistance.
