Part 2
Removal
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.
-
The occupant classification sensor rails have a built-in strain gauge which may operate incorrectly if an occupant classification sensor rail
is dropped by itself, dropped when installed to the front passenger seat or dropped when installed to a front passenger seat track
assembly. Use care when handling an occupant classification sensor rail or when installed to the front passenger seat of front passenger
seat track assembly. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
-
Do not disassemble the occupant classification sensor rail, tighten or loosen any of the nuts and bolts installed to the occupant
classification sensor rail body. Only the 8 bolts that attach the 2 occupant classification sensor rails to the seat track should be removed
and installed. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
-
Oil, grease, water or foreign material on or in the occupant classification sensor rail may cause the supplemental restraint system to
deploy incorrectly. Never allow oil, grease, water or foreign material to get on or into the occupant classification sensor rail. Failure to
follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
CAUTION: Use care when handling the seat and track assembly. Dropping the assembly or sitting on a seat not secured in the vehicle may
result in damaged components.
NOTE:
-
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.
-
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.
