24. Install the 2 driver air bag module bolts (1 shown).
-
Tighten to 7 Nm (62 lb-in).
25. 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.
26. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON.
27. Install the RCM fuse 17 (10A) to the SJB and install the cover.
28. 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.
29. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (SRS) as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the switch back to ON and visually 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 at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag warning indicator might not light 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 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 and occupant classification system module (OCSM) using a scan tool.
