Depowering Procedure
WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
-
Never probe the electrical connector on a safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety canopy deployment.
-
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 these instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety
canopy and risk of personal injury.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
-
If a seat equipped with a SRS component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
-
The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the 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.
1. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF.
2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
3. At the smart junction box (SJB), located below the LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the restraints control module (RCM)
fuse 17 (10A) from the SJB.
4. Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air bag indicator will remain lit continuously (no
flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag indicator does not remain lit continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before
proceeding.
5. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
6. WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing
or installing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before servicing, installing, adjusting or
striking components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood
latches.
The front impact severity sensors are located on the radiator support bracket above the lower front splash shield.
The front door side impact sensors are located in the first row doors, behind the door trim panel.
The C-pillar side impact sensors (if equipped) are located on the C-pillar.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect
auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute.
