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.
Warning: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove
could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
20. 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 switch from OFF to ON.
22. Install the RCM fuse 22 (10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
Warning: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of any air bag module when the battery
ground cable is connected.
23. Connect the battery ground cable.
24. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (SRS) as follows: Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to
ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will light continuously for approximately 6
seconds and then turn off. If an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will:
-
fail to light.
-
remain lit continuously.
-
flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the
time required for the restraints control module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag 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 indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and
repaired. Clear all continuous DTCs from the restraints control module using a diagnostic tool.
