GMC 1998 Yukon - Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle

Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and
diagnostic module, which records information about
the air bag system. The module records information
about the readiness
of the system, when the sensors
are activated and driver‘s safety belt usage
at deployment.
Let only qualified technicians work
on your air bag
system. Improper service can mean that your air bag
system won‘t work properly. See your dealer
for service.
I NOTICE:
~ ~~
If you damage the covering for the driver’s or the
right front passenger’s air bag, the bag may not
work properly.
You may have to replace the air
bag module in the steering wheel or both the air
bag module and the instrument panel for the
right front passenger’s air bag.
Do not open or
break the air bag coverings.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag system
in several places
around your vehicle.
You don’t want the system to
inflate while someone
is working on your vehicle. Your
dealer and the service manual have information about
servicing your vehicle and the air bag system.
To
purchase a service manual, see “Service and Owner
Publications”
in the Index.
For up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service.
You
can be injured if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape
or yellow connectors. They are probably part
of
the air bag system. Be sure to follow proper
service procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you is qualified to do
so.
~~~
The air bag system does not need regular mainten‘nce.
