Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module, which records
information about the air bag system. The module records information
about the readiness
of
the system, when the sensors are activated and
driver’s safety belt usage at deployment.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag system. Improper
service can mean that your air bag system won’t work properly. See
your dealer for service.
NOTICE:
If
you damage the cover
for
the driver’s air bag, it may not work
properly. You may have to replace the air bag module.
Do
not
open or break the air bag cover.
Servicing
Your
Air
Bag-Equipped
Vehicle
The air bag affects how your vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of
the air
bag
system in several places around your vehicle. You don’t want the
system to inflate while someone is working
on
your vehicle. Your GM
dealer and the
1995
GM
Service Manual have information about servicing
your vehicle and the air bag system. To purchase a service manual, see
“Service Publications” in the Index. The air bag system does not need
regular maintenance.
I
A
CAUTION:
For
up to
2
minutes after the ignition key
is
turned
off
and the
battery
is
disconnected, an
air
bag can
still
inflate during
improper service. You can be injured
if
you are close to an
air
bag when,it inflates. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape, or
yellow connectors. They are probably part
of
the air bag system.
Be sure to follow proper service procedures, and make sure the
person performing work for you is qualified to do
so.
