Installation Recommendations
Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes before beginning work to allow the SRS system to discharge. Use appropriate tools and follow anti-static precautions. Handle the airbag module with the inflator face pointed away from you and avoid placing it on conductive surfaces. Replace any damaged wiring, connector clips or mounting hardware. After installation, clear SRS fault codes with a diagnostic tool and confirm that the SRS warning lamp extinguishes during the ignition cycle. Where available, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque settings and service instructions.
Why It Most Often Fails
The most common cause of a non-functional knee airbag is deployment during a collision, after which the module must be replaced. Other frequent issues include corrosion or damage to the electrical connector and wiring harness, water ingress behind the dash, poor previous repairs, or internal connector faults that trigger SRS warning messages. Electrical shorts and persistent sensor faults can also render the module inoperative.
Replacement Procedure
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes.
- Remove the lower dashboard trim and access panel beneath the steering column to reach the module.
