Steering Column Air Bag Arming and Disarming | SRS Depowering and Repowering
5
Install the 2 steering wheel back cover plugs (1 shown).
9. WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to
remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS
components are connected.
10. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON.
11. Install the RCM module fuse 20 (10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
12. WARNING: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of any air bag module when the
battery ground cable is connected.
Connect the battery ground cable.
13. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually monitor the air bag warning indicator with the
air bag modules installed. The air bag warning indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS
fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will either:
-
fail to light.
-
remain lit continuously.
-
flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is
the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime
will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and
repaired.
Clear all continuous DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.
