Disassembly and Assembly

WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on safety belt buckle/retractor pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety belt pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.

NOTE:
- If a new driver seat module (DSM) has been installed, all seat and power tilt column (if equipped) soft stops must be reset. If a new seat track, recline motor or power tilt column has been installed, only reset the soft stops for that component being installed new. To rest the soft stops, refer to principles of operation.
