Removal
WARNING:
-
Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is
connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety canopy
and cause serious personal injury or death.
-
If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for
deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed
whether or not the air bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in a crash.
CAUTION:
-
Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage can result.
-
When installing a new restraints control module (RCM), it is necessary to carry out programmable module installation (PMI). System
failure may occur if PMI is not performed.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraint control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal
operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraints system (SRS) fault.
-
When installing a new RCM, always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. If an incorrect RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic
procedure again.
