Pontiac G6 Airbag System Problems
2007 Pontiac G6 Service Airbag soon. Replaced airbag, module, clockspring. 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?
Answer:
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.

pontiac g62004 pontiac grand prix 3.1. Question: how do i remove the drivers airbag from my 04 grand prix gt? I replaced the steering wheel trim and it sure looks like the airbag has to come off first.
Answer:
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.
