I can't answer your question but please be very careful when dealing with an airbag module!! Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait 5 minutes for the airbag system to discharge before working on the system! The airbag system maintains a power reserve so that in a collision the airbags will still deploy even if the battery is disabled in the collision. When you get the airbag module out, turn it away from your body and remove it from the vehicle. An airbag module that is unplugged is considered unstable and in the event it accidentally deploys you want it to be facing away from your body. You can be seriously injured or killed by the airbag module! Good luck with your repair and please follow these safety rules!! Jim
