the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
-
Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is
involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Install a new sensor and correctly position the
sensor or any other damaged SRS components whether or not the air bag is deployed.
-
The tightening torque of the air bag RCM retaining nuts is critical for correct system operation.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
CAUTION:
-
Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage can result.
-
When installing a new RCM on vehicles built 7/31/06 or after, it is necessary to carry out programmable module installation (PMI). See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information Bus/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning
NOTE:
-
When installing a new RCM, always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. If an incorrect RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.
-
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 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.
