With Hard Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)/Lamp Fault Codes (LFC)

WARNING: THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TOOL IS FOR RESTRAINT SYSTEM SERVICE ONLY. REMOVE FROM VEHICLE PRIOR TO ROAD USE. FAILURE TO REMOVE COULD RESULT IN INJURY AND POSSIBLE VIOLATION OF VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS.

NOTE:
^ If a seat equipped with a seat mounted side airbag system is being serviced the airbag system must be deactivated using the appropriate deactivation procedure.
^ Restraint system diagnostic tools MUST be installed under the seats in the side airbag floor connectors.
^ Diagnostics or repairs are not to be performed on a side airbag system with the seats in the vehicle. Prior to attempting to diagnose/repair the side airbag system, the seats must be removed from the vehicle and the restraint system diagnostic tools must be installed in the side airbag floor connectors. The restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle over the road.
^ Diagnostics may be performed on seat systems other than the side airbag system (lumbar, climate controlled, heated, power seat track) with the seat installed in the vehicle as long as the restraint system diagnostic tools are installed under the seats in the side airbag floor connectors.
^ After diagnosing/repairing a seat system, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.

Most air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) diagnostic procedures will require the use of the deactivation and reactivation procedures.

The deactivation and reactivation require the installation and removal of restraint system diagnostic tools. These procedures require the disconnection of the driver air bag module, passenger air bag module, driver side air bag module, passenger side air bag module, driver safety belt buckle pretensioner, and passenger safety belt buckle pretensioner. This reduces the risk of deployment of air bag modules and safety belt pretensioners while diagnostics are being carried out.

Restraint system diagnostic tools are required to carry out diagnosis and testing of the supplemental restraint system (SRS). It is not acceptable to short-circuit the air bag module or pretensioner connections with a jumper wire. If a jumper wire is used to short-circuit the air bag module or pretensioner connections, a Lamp Fault Code (LFC) will be displayed.

Most supplemental restraint system (SRS) diagnostic procedures will require the use of the deactivation and reactivation procedures.

WARNING: THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TOOL IS FOR RESTRAINT SYSTEM SERVICE ONLY. REMOVE FROM VEHICLE PRIOR TO ROAD USE. FAILURE TO REMOVE COULD RESULT IN INJURY AND POSSIBLE VIOLATION OF VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS.

The reactivation procedure requires the removal of any restraint system diagnostic tools installed and the reconnection of any air bag modules and pretensioners disconnected.
