I'm trying to locate the Diagnostic Energy Reserve Module on my 1997 S-10 Blazer. I looked under the LF seat and under the center console behind the shift lever, but I don't want to cut up my carpet without an idea of the location. Thank you.

 

The DERM is located behind the passenger side kick panel on the 96-97 s-series trucks. Check out the attached schematic.

 

Will I need to take it somewhere to have them set it to my vehicle or can I replace it plug an go. I am aware of how to disable the SIR system per the Haynes manual. Fuse, connector under steering coloumn.

 

If you disconnect the battery and wait like 30 minutes, you will disable the SIR system as well.

It should be plug-n-play. You should not have to get anything programmed.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

No problem.

Thank you for your help, I ended up having to replace the clockspring also, but that took care of the airbag light. The vehicle got inspected.
