Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deactivation And Reactivation

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEACTIVATION AND REACTIVATION

Deactivation

WARNING:Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.

WARNING:To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.
NOTE:The air bag warning lamp 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 SRS fault.
NOTE:The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

All vehicles

1. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF.

2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

3. At the smart power distribution junction box (SPDJB), located at the RH side of the center console, remove the cover and the restraints control module (RCM) fuse 32 (10A) from the SPDJB. For additional information, refer to the Wiring Diagram.

4. Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air bag indicator will remain lit continuously (no flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag indicator does not remain lit continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before proceeding.

5. Turn the ignition OFF.

6. Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. See Battery Disconnect.

WARNING:Always deplete the backup power supply before repairing or installing any new front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) component and before servicing, removing, installing, adjusting or striking components near the front or side impact sensors or the restraints control module (RCM). Nearby components include doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.Refer to the Description and Operation portion of the Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) procedure for the location of the RCM and impact sensor(s). To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least 1 minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.

a. Connect the 2 passenger air bag module electrical connectors.

b. Attach the wire harness routing clip.

CAUTION:During passenger air bag module installation, make sure the passenger air bag module wire harness routing clip is attached to the passenger air bag module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in wiring harness damage.

CAUTION:The passenger air bag module electrical connectors are unique and cannot be reversed when connected to the passenger air bag module. Match the electrical connector key to the keyway in the passenger air bag module. Do not force the electrical connectors into the passenger air bag module. Failure to follow these instructions may result in component and/or connector damage.

- When the 3 driver air bag module hooks are seated in place, gently pull outward at the corners of the driver air bag module to make sure that the 3 hooks are fully seated. There should also be an even gap between the driver air bag module trim cover and the steering wheel. Check the driver air bag module and trim cover for correct movement when applying the horn.

NOTE:Make sure the driver air bag module wiring harness is routed down and away from the driver air bag module hooks during installation.
NOTE:Audible clicks will be heard when the 3 wire clips are seated in the 3 driver air bag module hooks.
15. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON.

16. Install RCM fuse 32 (10A) to the SPDJB and install the cover.

17. Connect the battery ground cable. See Battery Disconnect.

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.
18. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is present, the air bag indicator will either:
- fail to light
- remain lit continuously
- flash
The flashing might not occur 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 restraints control module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag 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 indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.
