Air Bag Harness: Service Precautions
CAUTION:
^
Use care when handling the seat and track assembly. Dropping the assembly or sitting on a seat not secured in the vehicle may result in damaged
components.
^
When positioning the seat or separating the seat bottom from the back, be careful not to damage the seat back pivot and any of the wires or cables
from the seat back to the seat bottom. This can cause damage to one of the seat components.
^
Use care when connecting the seat cushion side shield to the seat cushion frame so the tabs on the seat cushion side shield are not damaged.
^
Vehicles without side air bags, do not deactivate the side air bag module circuit by removing the side air bag bridge resistor from side air bag floor
connector.
If the side air bag bridge resistor is removed, an open circuit fault will be generated by the Restraints Control Module (RCM).
If a resistance system diagnostic tool installed at the side air bag floor connector, a low resistance fault will be generated by the RCM.
^
Use care when separating the seat cushion trim cover from the hook and loop strip. The hook and loop strip can be torn from the seat cushion
foam.
^
Make sure the side air bag wiring harness is not pinched between the side air bag module and the mounting bracket.
^
The retaining nuts of the side air bag module must be tightened in the sequence described.
