If a seat equipped with a seat mounted side airbag and/or a safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) system is being serviced the airbag system must
be deactivated. Refer to Air Bag Systems.

Diagnostics may be performed on seat systems other than the side airbag or the safety belt pretensioner (if equipped) system (lumbar, climate
controlled, heated, power seat track) with the seat installed in the vehicle as long as the restraint system diagnostic tools are installed under the
seats in the side airbag and safety belt pretensioner to floor connectors.
-
After diagnosing/repairing a seat system, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic
procedure again.
