19. With the locking pins aligned and the driver air bag module positioned to the steering wheel, push inward, seating the 4 locking pins to the spring
clips.
-
An audible click should be heard when the driver air bag module locking pins are seated in place to the spring clip. When the 4 locking pins
are seated in place, there should be an even uniform gap between the driver air bag module trim cover and the steering wheel.
20. WARNING: Remove restraint system diagnostic tools from the vehicle prior to road testing. If tools are not removed, the supplemental
restraint system (SRS) device may not deploy in a crash. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death
in a crash and possibly violate vehicle safety standards.
Make sure all Restraint System Diagnostic Tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS
components are connected.
21. Turn the ignition from OFF to ON.
22. Install the RCM fuse 22 (10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
23. WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any air bag module when the battery is
connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
Connect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to Battery.
24. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition back to ON and monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag
modules installed. The air bag warning indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is
present, the air bag warning indicator will:
- fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time
required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM using a scan tool.
