WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada, 1999 GMC Sonoma, 1999 GMC Jimmy, 1999 GMC Envoy, and 1999 Chevrolet S10 Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Observe following precautions when working with vehicles equipped with Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system:
- Before performing any instrument panel testing, diagnosis or repair, disable SIR system by disconnecting negative battery cable and Yellow 2-pin connector at base of steering column.
- Wait 2 minutes before making SIR repairs. SIR system retains enough voltage to deploy air bag after power is disconnected.
- To prevent accidental air bag deployment, avoid SIR wiring harness when trouble shooting instrument panel components. All SIR wires are color-coded Yellow.
