airbag control module - removing

[alexiker]

could you advice me the easiest way of removing airbag control module?
I detached the rear part of central console. Now it's like on this photo:

Only difference between this picture and the mine situation is the mate which covers the module.

what should I do the next? am i obliged to disconnect airduct?

you don't need to do that you can get to the three nuts by moving the duct from side to side to make access once nuts are removed you can lift ecu from the bolts that stick up from the floor and gently persuede it out.. YOU MUST DISCONNECT BATTERY FOR ONE HOUR BEFORE DISCONNECTING ECU!!!

Disconnect the vehicle battery and wait for approx. 30 min, this to allow the capacitors within the control module to discharge. Failure to carry out this operation could lead to the airbags/seatbelt pretentioners "deploying" , when you diconnect the wiring from the control module....
