Data Link Connector: Service and Repair

DATA LINK CONNECTOR REPLACEMENT

REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 8.

CAUTION:
- Do not strike or jolt the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). Before applying power to the SDM, make sure that it is securely fastened with the arrow facing toward the front of the vehicle. Failure to observe the correct installation procedure could cause SIR deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.
- If the vehicle interior is exposed to moisture and becomes soaked up to the level of the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), the SDM and SDM harness connector must be replaced. The SDM could be activated when powered, which could cause airbag deployment and result in personal injury.

2. Remove the console assembly.




3. Remove the retainers from the connector position assurance (CPA) and disconnect the electrical connectors.
4. Remove the nuts and remove the SDM.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE




1. Remove any dirt, grease, or other contaminants from the mounting surface.
2. Install the SDM to the vehicle with the nuts.

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Tighten the nuts to 10 N.m (89 lb in).

3. Install the console assembly.
4. Enable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 8.
5. Reprogram the BCM. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration.

IMPORTANT: If you do NOT perform the BCM programming procedure, the vehicle option content information which is read by the BCM may be incorrect and a DTC B1001 Option Configuration Error will set in both the SDM and the BCM. This will illuminate the AIR BAG telltale.
