3 parts stores. 3 different brands of code readers. No codes Still 10 pause 2 every time. I think I am out of ideas . . .

 

Found this out: 10-2 Lamp fault code is the safety canopy fault (Driver safety canopy squib 1 short to ground fault).

Anybody know how to easily get to the driver's side canopy air bag connector?

 

Make sure steering wheel is lined up straight.

Disconnect battery, wait 15 minutes.

Pry open the little plastic "door" under the steering wheel crosspiece. Undo the 2 plastic wiring connectors. Then, to the get steering wheel off, use a socket on the tall hex nut. But it is geared at a high ratio, so you will have to turn it 100-150 or more turns to get the wheel off. So, after breaking it free with a ratchet, use a cordless drill with a nut driver to turn it. As you pull the wheel away, you will have to get the 2 plastic wiring connectors through the opening to get the wheel free. After wheel is off, do not allow the clockspring under the wheel to change position.

Turn wheel over, on a towel so you don't scratch the face of the airbag. There are 4 black metal bars/clips which push or twist (can't remember exactly) to release the airbag from the wheel. After getting it away enough to see between the airbag and the wheel, you would normally see the ground wire from the airbag connected to the wheel with a spade connector. But it in your case, hopefully it is disconnected, so you just need to push it back on the spade terminal and replace the wheel.

If your cruise control buttons are not working, now is a good time to take them apart and clean the electrical contacts of oxidation. Use toothpaste and alcohol on the round contacts on the circuit board and the membrane.

 

rod525, looks like this is step-by-step for the driver's side airbag? I'm looking for info on the driver's side canopy air bag.

 

Yes, that's the only driver side airbag I know. What is a canopy air bag?
