Removal and Installation

WARNING: If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed whether or not the airbags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM  is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the Safety Canopy and cause serious personal injury or death.
NOTE: Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.
  1. This module requires PMI  when being replaced. Refer to the scan tool instructions to carry out PMI  .
  2. Depower the SRS  . Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
  3. Remove the floor console. Refer to INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONSOLE .
  4. WARNING: Always tighten the fasteners of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact sensor (if equipped) to the specified torque. Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint system operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.

  6. Repower the SRS  . Do not prove out the SRS at this time  . Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
  7. This module requires PMI  when being replaced. Refer to the scan tool instructions to carry out PMI  .
  8. Prove out the SRS  as follows:

    With the ignition OFF, wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition ON and monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning indicator illuminates continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turns off. If an SRS  fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will:

    • fail to light.
    • remain lit continuously.
    • flash.

    The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from OFF to ON. This is the time required to complete the testing of the SRS  . If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS  fault exists, a chime sounds in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, diagnose and repair the air bag warning indicator and any SRS  faults.

  9. Clear all CMDTCs  from the RCM  and OCSM  .
