To install, tighten to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).
2. Make sure the large RCM connector position assurance lever is in the full release position before attempting to connect the connector.

NOTICE: Do not push the connector to the point where the lever pivots and seats itself. Light pressure is needed to get the connector
into position on the Restraints Control Module (RCM), before using the lever to fully seat the connector. Damage to the connector or
component may occur.
