Removal

NOTE:
- The air bag warning indicator 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 SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

1. Remove the front seat.
2. Remove the front seat backrest.
3. Remove the plastic rivets attaching the backrest trim cover to the inboard and outboard recliners.

4. CAUTION: Use care when separating the seat back trim cover from the hook-and-loop strip, or the hook-and-loop strip can be torn from the backrest foam pad.

Release the backrest trim cover lower J-clip, hook-and-loop strips and invert the trim cover to the first row of hog rings.

5. Remove the one-way push clip on the side of the inboard power recliner. Slide the recliner shaft out from the outboard side of the seat enough to clear the inboard recliner and power recline motor.
6. Disconnect the electrical connector, remove the screw and the power recline motor.
