WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbags, airbag curtains, knee blocker, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS)/negative battery cable assembly from the negative battery post, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable.
- Remove the right front floor outlet. Refer to OUTLET, AIR, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Working on the right side of the HVAC housing, disconnect the wiring harness (1a) from the retainers (1b).
- Release the retainer (2a) and remove the cover (2b) for the cabin air filter.
- Remove the cabin air filter (1) from HVAC housing by pulling the filter element straight out of the housing.
