Removal

NOTE:
- The air bag warning lamp 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.
- When installing a new dual climate control seat module (DCSM), it is necessary to carry out programmable module installation (PMI).
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

1. Before removing the DCSM, carry out the appropriate steps in the PMI procedure.
2. Remove the front passenger seat.
3. Remove the DCSM from the cushion electrical bracket.
- Release the locking wedges and disconnect the 3 DCSM electrical connectors.
- Remove the 2 rivets and DCSM.

Installation
1. Install the DCSM to the seat.
- Position the DCSM to the electrical bracket and install 2 new rivets.
- Connect the 3 DCSM electrical connectors and locking wedges.

2. Install the front seat and repower the SRS. Do not prove out the SRS at this time.
3. Carry out the Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Zero Seat Weight Test.
4. After installing the DCSM, carry out the appropriate steps in the PMI procedure.
