Disassembly
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses
when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an
airbag module. This will reduce the risk of
injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Carry a live side air bag
module with the air bag and tear seam pointed
away from your body. This will reduce the risk
of injury in the event of an accidental
deployment.
WARNING: Do not set a live side air bag
module down on the cover tear seam. This will
reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
WARNING: After deployment, the air bag
surface can contain deposits of sodium
hydroxide, a product of the gas generant
combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash
your hands with soap and water afterwards.
WARNING: Never probe the connectors on
the air bag module. Doing so can result in air
bag deployment, which can result in personal
injury.
Seating
WARNING: Side air bag modules with
damaged covers must be replaced.
WARNING: Front seat back trim covers
installed on seats equipped with side air bags
cannot be repaired; they are to be replaced
(cleaning is permissible).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE: If a side air bag deployment took place a
new backrest foam pad, trim cover, side air bag
module, bracket and nuts, U-nuts and bolts must be
installed. The seat back frame should be replaced if
necessary.
NOTE: If a seat equipped with a supplemental
restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced,
the supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be
depowered.
NOTE: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when
the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate
a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free
of faults before releasing the vehicle to the
customer.
All seats
1. Position the seat to gain access to the seat
track-to-floor nuts and bolts.
2. Depower the SRS. For additional information,
refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Depowering and Repowering in the General
Procedures portion of Section 501-20B.
3. Remove the front seat. For additional
information, refer to Front Seat in this section.
4. Remove the front seat backrest. For additional
