Seat Sensor/Switch: Service and Repair
SEAT POSITION SENSOR
Removal
WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing a supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an airbag module. This will
reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is
irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
-
If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
-
The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate
a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
