Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deactivation and Reactivation: Reactivation
- Remove RCM fuse 32 (10A) from the SJB .
- Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute.
- Connect the horn switch electrical connector.
- Connect the driver air bag module electrical connectors.
- Install the driver air bag module to the steering wheel.
- Firmly press the driver air bag module to engage the 3 driver air bag module wire clips to the steering wheel.
-
NOTE: The passenger air bag module electrical connector is located below the passenger air bag module.
Connect the passenger air bag module electrical connector.
- Close the glove compartment door.
- Under the front of the driver seat, connect the seat-to-floor connector.
- Under the front of the passenger seat, connect the seat-to-floor connector.
-
NOTE: RH shown in illustration, LH similar.
Connect the LH and RH side air curtain module electrical connectors.
-
NOTE: Two-door shown in illustration, 4-door similar.
Install the LH and RH rear seat belt retractor trim covers to the quarter trim panel.
-
NOTE: Two-door shown in illustration, 4-door similar.
Install the LH and RH C-pillar trim panels, screws and access covers.
- Install the parcel shelf and pin-type retainers.
- Fold the rear seats up.
- Install RCM fuse 32 (10A) to the SJB and install the cover.
- Turn the ignition switch ON.
-
WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any air bag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
Connect the battery ground cable.
- Prove out the SRS
as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON and visually monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will:
- fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag warning indicator may not illuminate until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS . If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM and Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) using a scan tool.
