LIGHTING SYSTEM

Lighting Switch (Combination Switch)

Removal

1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Remove the instrument panel driver lower cover(5).

Refer to the Instrument Panel Assembly in Body
Structure section.

3. Remove seven screws to remove the steering

cowl(4).

4. Disconnect the SDM (air bag controller) connector

located at lower of the instrument panel driver lower
cover.

5. Remove four fixing screws and disconnect the driver

inflator module connector to remove the driver inflator
module(3).

CAUTION: When carrying a live inflator module,
make sure the bag opening is pointed away from
you. In case of an accidental deployment, the bag will
then deploy with minimal chance of injury. Never
carry the inflator module by the wires or connector
on the underside of the module. 
 When placing a live inflator module on a bench or
other surface, always face the bag and trim cover up,
away from the surface. This is necessary so that a
free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand
in the unlikely event of accidental deployment. 

6. Remove the steering wheel(2). 

Refer to the Steering Wheel in Steering section.

7. Disconnect the SRS coil assembly connector,

remove four fixing screws to remove the SRS coil
