Removal

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury from an accidental deployment, always carry or place a live safety canopy module with the safety canopy and tear seam pointed away from your body. Failure to do so may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
- Anytime the safety canopy has deployed, the headliner, and all A-, B-, C- and D-pillar upper trim panels and attaching hardware must be installed new along with any other damaged components and hardware. Failure to do so may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.
- Vehicles equipped with safety canopy modules require a specific headliner. When installing a new headliner on a vehicle equipped with safety canopy modules, make sure a headliner for safety canopy modules is being used. The word AIRBAG will appear on the headliner where it meets each B-pillar trim panel. Failure to do so may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
- Before installing a safety canopy module, inspect the roof line for any damage. If necessary, the sheet metal must be reworked to its original condition and structural integrity. All damaged fasteners must be installed new and any foreign material removed. Failure to do so may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.
- Inspect the safety canopy before installation. If the safety canopy is damaged or the cover has separated and the canopy material has been exposed, a new safety canopy module must be installed. Do not attempt to repair the safety canopy module. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
- To reduce the risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the safety canopy module. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
- Never put any type of fastener or tie strap around any part of the safety canopy module or interior trim panel. This will prevent the safety canopy module from deploying correctly. Failure to do so may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
- Never probe the electrical connector on a safety canopy module. Doing so may result in safety canopy deployment.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
- The safety canopy must be installed in the vehicle using new torque-prevailing type J-nuts (W709759, 11 per side). The use of this J-nut is mandatory to reduce the risk of loss of fastener effectiveness. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.

NOTE:
- The air bag warning indictor 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.
- The supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.

1. Depower the system.
2. Remove the headliner.







3. CAUTION: Do not pull the safety canopy module electrical connector out by the locking button. Damage to the locking button can occur.

5. Remove the safety canopy module front tether cord routing pin-type retainer from the A-pillar sheet metal.
6. Detach the 2 safety canopy module front tether cord A-pillar trim bracket routing pin-type retainers from the A-pillar trim bracket.
7. Remove the safety canopy module A-pillar trim bracket bolt.
8. Remove the safety canopy module front door opening bolt.

9. NOTE: Note the position and the routing of the safety canopy module rear tether cord and routing clip pin-type retainer for installation.

Detach the safety canopy module rear tether cord routing clip pin-type retainer from the upper D-pillar sheet metal.

10. NOTE: Note the position of the safety canopy module rear tether anchor bracket hook and pin-type retainer in the D-pillar sheet metal.

Remove the bolt, then detach the pin-type retainer and remove the safety canopy module rear tether anchor bracket from the D-pillar sheet metal.

11. Remove the safety canopy module rear door opening bolt.
12. Remove the 2 safety canopy module bolts near the C-pillar.
13. Remove the safety canopy module D-pillar bolt.
14. Remove the 2 safety canopy module rear bolts.
15. Remove the safety canopy module bolt near the B-pillar.
16. Remove the safety canopy module B-pillar pin-type retainer.







17. Move the safety canopy module forward to release the rear bracket hook from the sheet metal and remove the safety canopy module.

Installation

WARNING:
- Before installing a safety canopy module, inspect the roof line for any damage. If necessary, the sheet metal must be reworked to its original condition and structural integrity. All new fasteners must be installed if they are damaged and any foreign material removed. Failure to do so may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.
- Inspect the safety canopy before installation. If the safety canopy is damaged or the cover has separated and the canopy material has been exposed, a new safety canopy module must be installed. Do not attempt to repair the safety canopy module. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
- Never put any type of fastener or tie strap around any part of the safety canopy module or interior trim panel. This will prevent the safety canopy module from deploying correctly. Failure to do so may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
- The safety canopy must be installed in the vehicle using new torque-prevailing type J-nuts (W709759, 11 per side). The use of this J-nut is mandatory to reduce the risk of loss of fastener effectiveness. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.
