Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair

INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE REPLACEMENT

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

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.

2. Remove the console.
3. Remove the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module nuts.
4. Remove the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module wire harness connector.




5. Remove the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: The AIR BAG indicator may remain ON after the SDM has been replaced. DTC B1001 may set requiring the SDM part number to be set in multiple modules. If the indicator remains ON after enabling the SIR system, perform the diagnostic system check and follow the steps thoroughly to ensure that the SDM is set properly.
