Chevrolet Captiva Service & Repair Manual: Air Bag System Disarming & Arming
The air bag control module
maintains a reserved energy supply. The reserved energy supply provides
deployment power for air bags if air bag control module loses battery power
during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 2 minute
after disconnecting vehicle power. After disabling air bag system, wait
for 2 minute before working on system, to prevent deployment of air bags
from reserved energy supply. Servicing air bag system during this period
may result in accidental deployment and personal injury. |
