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.
-
Install the 2 RH side RCM bolts.
-
Tighten to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft).
-
Position the carpet back at the RH side of the center tunnel area under the instrument panel.
2. Install the RCM.
-
Install the LH side RCM bolt.
-
Tighten to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft).
-
Connect the small RCM electrical connector.
3. Make sure the large RCM connector position assurance lever is in the full release position before attempting to connect the connector.
4. CAUTION: Placing the large restraints control module (RCM) electrical wiring connector into the RCM on an angle, can cause bad
electrical connections and damaged components.
NOTE: The RCM has been removed for clarity.
Position the large RCM electrical connector into the RCM.
-
CAUTION: 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. Damage to the
connector or component may occur.
With the large RCM electrical connector uniformly aligned to the RCM, lightly push in until a subtle audible click is heard and slight
resistance is felt.
