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. Remove the driver side upper C-pillar trim panel.
3. Cut the safety canopy bridge resistor fabric tether close to the rear of the headliner.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the safety canopy module bridge resistor.
5. NOTE: The service part comes without the fabric tether. There is no need to connect the service part to the OEM fabric tether.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
6. Repower the system.
