SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
-
THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE CONTAINS THE IMPACT SENSOR, WHICH ENABLES THE SYSTEM TO DEPLOY
THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS. NEVER STRIKE OR DROP THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE, AS IT CAN DAMAGE
THE IMPACT SENSOR OR AFFECT ITS CALIBRATION. IF A SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE 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 SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND
POSSIBLE OCCUPANT INJURIES.
1. Position the Side Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM) and its mounting bracket to the sill panel as a unit.
2. Loosely install the four screws that secure the SIACM mounting bracket to the sill panel at the base of the B-pillar.
3. Tighten the four screws that secure the SIACM mounting bracket to the sill panel in the following sequence: upper front, upper rear, lower front,
lower rear. Tighten the screws to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.).
4. Engage the body wire harness retainer to the tab on the SIACM mounting bracket.
5. Reconnect the body wire harness connector for the SIACM to the module connector receptacle.
6. Reinstall the lower trim onto the inside of the B-pillar.
