Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair
Occupant Restraint Controller - Installation
INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), as it can damage the impact
sensor or affect its calibration. The ORC contains the impact sensor, which enables the system to deploy the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) components. If an ORC is accidentally dropped during service, the module must be scrapped and replaced
with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental, incomplete, or improper SRS component deployment.
1. Carefully position the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (2) to the ORC bracket that is welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission
tunnel. When the ORC is correctly positioned, the arrow on the ORC label will be pointed forward in the vehicle and the locating pins on the
bottom of the ORC will be engaged into the locating holes in the ORC bracket.
2. Install and tighten the three screws (1) that secure the ORC to the ORC bracket. Tighten the screws to 11 Nm (97 in. lbs.).
3. Restore the sound deadening material (1) over the top of the ORC.
