These GRANT Instructions use the factory shop manual procedures for the removal and
reinstallation of the steering wheel and airbag module. In addition the GRANT instructions
include step-by- step procedures for the changeover of the switches, wiring and trim pieces from
the factory wheel to the Grant wheel. Before proceeding with the replacement of your original
steering wheel, it is necessary to read and understand all these instructions. By reading them
first, you can become familiar with the steps and terminology used. Please take note of the
following directives used throughout these instructions:
NOTICE - GRANT recommends that installation be performed by a qualified service provider such
as your local GM dealer, a certified mechanic, collision repair shop or a local airbag service
center. Many of these service centers will come to your home or place of business to change out
the air bag and wheel for a nominal fee. To find these providers check the internet for “airbag
service”, “mobile airbag service” or check the yellow pages.

DISABLING AND REMOVAL OF THE AIRBAG MODULE
1. Position the steering wheel so that it is pointed straight ahead. Write down all of your radio presets
as these may be lost when you disconnect the battery cable.
2. NOTICE - Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait at least 1 full minute for the circuit to
completely discharge before proceeding. CAUTION: Failure to fully deplete the backup power
supply could result in an accidental deployment and possible injury.
3. Using a 3-4mm (1/8”-5/32”) Allen wrench release the 2 spring fasteners by pushing inward through
the access holes. The access holes are located on both sides of the rear plastic steering wheel
shroud. See Illustration 1 below
.

4. Lift and partially remove the airbag module from the steering wheel in order to expose the electrical
connectors on the back side. Take care not to pull on any of the wiring. See Illustration 2 above.
5. The airbag electrical connections have a safety locking connector-position assurance (CPA) clip that
must be disconnected before you can remove the electrical connectors from the module.
6. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the airbag module.
7. Remove the airbag module from the steering wheel and place the module face up on the floor, seat
or work bench. If you carry the module make sure the trim cover is pointed AWAY from your body.
