Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair
Occupant Restraint Controller - Removal
REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), as it can damage the impact
sensor or affect its calibration. The ORC contains the impact sensor, which enables the system to deploy the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) components. If an ORC is accidentally dropped during service, the module must be scrapped and replaced
with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental, incomplete, or improper SRS component deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service.
2. Remove the center floor console from the floor panel transmission tunnel. See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding / Trim/Console/Service and
Repair/Floor Console - Removal.
3. Disconnect the two wire harness connectors (1 and 2) from the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) connector receptacles located on the
rearward facing side of the module.
