Problem with my 2007 Pontiac G6
4cyl Ecotec
dash lights = no
Service Airbag soon
Repairs done prior = Replace airbag, module, clockspring,
GM tech = JK
question = I have been told that when the airbag module was replace it has
to be insync with other modules. It was reset to factory spec. If it needs to
be sync with other how do I do it?
JK:
Yes, after an airbag control module (SDM) replacement, the module AND
the body control module (BCM) need to be programmed / setup. The BCM
needs to be programmed with the SDM part number and other things. This
must be done with a dealer scan tool. For these new cars, the scan tool
must be high speed LAN, so dont know if there are many independent
shops with this new type of scan tool. Expect to pay 1 hr. labor for this
programming.

2004 pontiac grand prix

tech = jk
question = how do i remove the drivers airbag from my 04 grand prix gt?
Idisable replace steering wheel trim and it sure looks like the
airbag has to come off first.
JK:
To remove the steering wheel airbag, you must first disable the SIR system. Then, using
a special tool ( or 2 thin screwdrivers) you need to release the retaining tabs on the
back side of the wheel. 2 on each side, for a total of 4. Each side pair must be released
at the same time, then release the two on the other side. Hold the airbag outward on the
first side you release before you start to release the other side. Then pull the airbag off.

The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system supplements the protection offered by the
occupant seat belt system. The SIR system has several inflator modules located throughout
the vehicle, i.e. The inflatable restraint steering wheel module, inflatable restraint IP module in
passenger side of dash, and the inflatable restraint side impact module - LF and RT. Each
inflator module has a deployment loop that is controlled by the inflatable restraint Sensing
and Diagnostic Module (SDM), which is mounted inside of the vehicle. The SDM determines
the severity of a collision with the assistance of various sensor inputs. When the SDM detects
a collision of sufficient force, it will process the information provided by the sensors to further
support inflator module deployment... MORE
