Installation
WARNING: Always tighten the fasteners of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact sensor (if equipped) to the specified torque.
Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint system operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
1. Position the RCM and install the bolts.
-
Tighten to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).
2. Make sure the connector position assurance lever is in the full RELEASE position before attempting to connect the connector.
3. NOTICE: Putting the large Restraints Control Module (RCM) electrical connector into the RCM on an angle can cause incorrect
electrical connections and damage components.
Position the large RCM electrical connector into the RCM.

NOTICE: Do not push the connector on to where the lever pivots and seats itself. Light pressure is needed to get the connector into
position on the Restraints Control Module (RCM) before using the lever to fully seat the connector. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in component damage and/or system failure.
With the large RCM electrical connector uniformly aligned to the RCM, lightly push in until a click is heard and a slight resistance is felt.
