Removing
the Airbag Steering Wheel on a 944 Without Triggering the SRS Light
Normally,
after removing the airbag steering wheel from the car and replacing it
with a non-airbag steering wheel, the SRS (airbag) light will stay on
and the airbag system will disable itself. Also, the large red
central warning light (exclamation point) will also be triggered.
The problem
with the lights can easily be remedied by clipping a single wire.
Behind the glove box is an orange box, this is the control unit for the
airbag system. Follow the harness from this box to round multi-pin
connector. There you will find a black wire with a yellow tracer.
If this wire is cut, then tied back and insulated, the instrument
cluster will not get a signal from the airbag, and thus will not
trigger either of the lights.
Note: the system will remain disabled... NO warning lights will
indicate this. The passenger airbag will not function if the
driver's side airbag is removed. |
