Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair
RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)
Removal
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.
-
The restraints control module (RCM) orientation is critical for correct air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) operation. If a vehicle
equipped with an SRS system has been involved in a collision in which the center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting
and bracket for deformation. If damaged, the RCM must be replaced whether or not the air bags have deployed. In addition, make sure
the area of the RCM is restored to its original condition.
-
Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper 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. Replace and properly position the
sensor or any other damaged supplemental restraint system (SRS) components whether or not the air bag is deployed.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
