Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System Sensing & Diagnostic Module: Installation

CAUTION: Use correct fastener in correct location. Replacement fasteners must be correct part number for application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in service procedures. DO NOT use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage fastener. Use correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to part and systems.

CAUTION: Ensure that seat stud washers are in place when installing seat. Smaller diameter washers should be located on forward seat studs.

To install, reverse removal procedure. Ensure arrow on module is pointing toward front of vehicle. Tighten SDM bolts to 89 INCH lbs. (10 N.m). Tighten seat nuts to 30 ft. lbs. (40 N.m). Activate SIR system. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM in appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article.
