NOTE: Always make sure the correct SRS component is being installed. Parts released for other vehicles may not be compatible even if they appear physically similar. Check the part number listed in the Master Parts Catalog to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect SRS component is installed, DTCs may set.
