11. Position the passenger air bag module alignment channels to the alignment rails of the I/P.
12. Install the passenger air bag module and trim cover into the I/P.
NOTE: Left hand upper alignment pin shown, left hand lower alignment pin is similar.
Starting at the left hand side of the trim cover, install the upper and lower alignment pins into the I/P.
13. Working from left to right, install all the trim cover retaining tabs and alignment pins into the I/P.
When all channels and tabs are aligned correctly, there will be an even gap around the perimeter of the passenger air bag trim cover.
14. Through the glove box opening, install the passenger air bag module retaining bolts.
15. Close the glove box.
16. Remove the restraint system diagnostic tool and connect the clockspring electrical connector.
17. Close the access door.
18. 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.
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.
19. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON.
20. Install the RCM fuse F2.23 (10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
21. 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.
Connect the battery ground cable.
22. 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 six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either:
-
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 five sets of five 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 scan tool.
