Removal and Installation
WARNING:
-
Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
-
Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
CAUTION: To prevent system failure, it is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when a front passenger
seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover installed or an OCS system service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS
system reset command.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning indicator 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 supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
If a driver or passenger seat backrest heater mat is faulty, a new seat backrest foam pad must be installed with the heater mat. Do not reuse the
original seat backrest foam pad.
