Air Bag Resistor: Service and Repair
SAFETY CANOPY BRIDGE RESISTOR
Removal and Installation
WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning lamp 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.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic
procedure again.
1. Depower the system.
2. Release the LH rear door weather-stripping near the C-pillar trim panel.
3. Detach and position aside the LH C-pillar trim panel.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the safety canopy module bridge resistor.
