WARNING:
-
Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
-
Always carry or place a live air bag module with the air bag and deployment door/trim cover/tear seam pointed away from the body. Do
not set a live air bag module down with the deployment door/trim cover/tear seam face down. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
-
Do not repaint air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers or deployment doors; new air bag modules must be installed.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in the air bag deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or
death in a crash.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal
operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic
procedure again.
1. Depower the SRS.
2. Open the glove compartment door and release the door dampener cable, then fully lower the door.
3. Remove the instrument panel end panel.
4. NOTE: Illustration shows the location of the 5 RH instrument panel trim panel nuts located inside of the instrument panel.
Through the glove compartment opening and the side of the instrument panel, remove the 5 RH instrument panel trim panel nuts on the inside the
instrument panel.
