WARNING:
-
Always carry or place a live air bag module with the air bag and deployment door/trim cover/tear seam pointed away from the body. Do
not set a live air bag module down with the deployment door/trim cover/tear seam face down. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
-
To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious
personal injury or death.
NOTE:
-
If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
-
The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal
operation and does not indicate a SRS fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
All vehicles
1. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF.
2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
3. At the central junction box (CJB), located below the LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the RCM fuse 22 (10A) from the CJB.
4. Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag warning indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air bag warning indicator will remain lit

correct RCM fuse before proceeding.
5. Turn the ignition OFF.
6. WARNING: Always deplete the backup power supply before repairing or installing any new front or side air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) component and before servicing, removing, installing, adjusting or striking components near the front or side impact
