1. Position the Airbag Control Module (ACM) (1) to the left side of the floor panel transmission tunnel near the ACM bracket (5). When the ACM is
correctly positioned, the arrow on the ACM label will be pointed forward in the vehicle.
2. From the left side of the floor panel transmission tunnel, slide the ACM toward the right far enough to engage the slotted hole in the right ACM
mounting flange under the head of the previously loosened right mounting screw (2), then engage the locating pin on the bottom of the left ACM
mounting flange into the locating hole in the bracket.
3. Still working from the left side of the floor panel transmission tunnel, install and tighten the two screws that secure the left ACM mounting flanges
to the bracket that is welded onto the floor panel transmission tunnel. Tighten the screws to 12 N.m (9 ft.lbs.).
4. From the left side of the floor panel transmission tunnel, reach behind the module to access and tighten the screw that secures the right side of the
ACM to the bracket on the floor panel transmission tunnel. Tighten the screw to 12 N.m (9 ft.lbs.).
5. Reach through the rearward facing opening below the instrument panel center stack support bracket on the top of the floor panel transmission
tunnel to access and reconnect the two wire harness connectors (3 & 4) for the ACM to the ACM connector receptacle located on the rearward
facing side of the module. Be certain that the latches on the connectors are each fully engaged.
6. On models with an automatic transmission, reinstall the ACM cover onto the instrument panel.
7. On models with a manual transmission, reinstall the floor console onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel.
8. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The supplemental restraint system verification test procedure should be performed
following service of any supplemental restraint system component.
