Servicing the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Airbags affect how the vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the airbag system in several places around the vehicle.
Your dealer and the service manual have information about servicing the vehicle and the airbag system.
To purchase a service manual, see Service Publications Ordering Information.
WARNING
For up to 10 seconds after the vehicle is turned off and the battery is
disconnected, an airbag can still inflate during improper service. You can be
injured if you are close to an airbag when it inflates. Avoid yellow
connectors.
They are probably part of the airbag system. Be sure to follow proper service
procedures, and make sure the person performing work for you is qualified to do
so.
