B3000 V6-3.0L (2007)
-
Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
-
Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas gene flint combustion that is irritating to the
skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
-
Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be installed new, not repainted.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning lamp 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.
-
A repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic
procedure again.
