Installation
1. 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.
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 electrical connector into the Restraints Control Module (RCM) on an angle can cause bad electrical
connections and damage components.
Position the large RCM electrical connector into the RCM.
-
NOTICE: Do not push the connector to the point 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 these
instructions may result in vehicle damage, equipment damage, component damage and/or system failure.
With the large electrical connector uniformly aligned to the RCM, lightly push in until a subtle audible click is heard and slight resistance is felt.
