hope to change control module, but any one know how to get to the airbag control module. Thank you
 
From memory, am I right in thinking it's beneath the hand brake lever? If so, you've got to remove the whole centre tunnel to access it.

Cheers,

Yep, Tom's correct.
Make sure you disconnect the battery with the ignition on and when you reconnect, ignition on. I also turn on the light switch to "absorb" any spikes.
Depending on how much time you have, it will be much easier if you remove one of the front seats for better access to the console tunnel.

Thanks Tom and Tony, as you said air-bag control module was right under the hand break. Thanks for the top tip, its save me removing dashboard and gear stick to find airbag control module. I could remove the centre tunnel with out removing seats.
