REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the bezel from the instrument panel. Instrument Panel Bezel - Removal.
3. Remove the steering column opening cover from the instrument panel. Steering Column Opening Cover - Removal.
