Disabling System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Chevrolet Prizm. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: SDM maintains sufficient voltage to cause air bag deployment for up to 10 minutes after ignition switch is turned OFF, battery is disconnected, or fuse powering SDM is removed. In order to begin servicing immediately, inflator modules must be removed from deployment loop.
NOTE: When AIR BAG fuse is removed and ignition switch is in RUN position, AIR BAG warning light will be on. This does not indicate a system malfunction.
