Answer:

SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

Before replacing any air bag component, disconnect the negative battery cable and disconnect the orange and blue clockspring electrical connector, located below the steering wheel.
The air bag components are not intended to be disassembled. They should be replaced if they are defective.
The air bag wiring harness should never be repaired, if it is defective it must be replaced.
Never use an ohmmeter to test the air bag module. Doing so could accidentally deploy the air bag.
When carrying a live undeployed air bag module, carry it so that the trim cover is pointing away from your body at all times.
When placing a live undeployed air bag on a flat surface, make certain to face the trim cover upward at all times.
In the event that the air bag has been deployed, always wear gloves and safety glasses to handle the air bag assembly. The air bag may contain caustic material deposits.
Because of the content of the air bag assembly, a deployed unit must be properly disposed of.
The position of the crash sensors in the front end is very important, if the front end ever suffers any damage of any type, the sensors must be inspected.
If the steering wheel is ever removed, the air bag clockspring connector must be adjusted.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM

If equipped, deactivate the audio anti-theft system.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.

To disable the air bag system, first disconnect the negative battery cable, then loosen the hood latch pull knob retaining nut and disengage the knob from the lower driver's side undercover

Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for more than one minute to allow the backup power supply to deplete its stored power.

Remove the lower driver's side undercover retaining screws then pull the cover down and, if equipped, detach the A/C vent hose from it

Locate and disconnect the orange and blue air bag clockspring electrical harness plugs

Remove the driver side undercover and lower dash panel. Disconnect the orange and blue clock spring connectors for the drivers side air bag.

Remove the glove compartment and disconnect the orange and blue passenger side air bag module connectors.

Passenger's side air bag connectors are located behind the glove compartment
