Controller, Occupant Restraint (Orc): Installation: Cover
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.
- Position the ORC cover (1) over the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (3).
- Align the latch features on the forward and rearward sides of the ORC cover with the slots in the adapter bracket (2) below the base of the ORC.
- Using hand pressure, press firmly and evenly downward on the ORC cover until each latch feature is fully engaged with the bracket.
- On vehicles equipped with a front bench seat, reinstall the front seat onto the floor panel. Refer to SEAT, MEGA CAB REAR, INSTALLATION .
- On vehicles equipped with front bucket seats, reinstall the front floor console into the vehicle. Refer to CONSOLE, FLOOR, INSTALLATION .
- Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.
