Restraints Control Module (RCM): Installation

    WARNING: Always tighten the fasteners of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact sensor (if equipped) to the specified torque. Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint system operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
  1. Position the RCM and install the nuts.
    • Tighten to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft).
  2. Connect the small RCM electrical connector.
  3. Make sure the large RCM connector position assurance lever is in the full release position before attempting to connect the connector.

    CAUTION: Putting the large RCM electrical wiring connector into the RCM on an angle can cause bad electrical connections and damage components.
    CAUTION: Do not push the connector to where the lever pivots and seats itself. Light pressure is needed to get the connector into position on the RCM before using the lever to fully seat the connector.
    NOTE: A similar RCM and connectors are shown.
  5. Connect the large RCM electrical wiring connector.
    • Using the connector position assurance lever, pivot it toward the RCM, drawing the connector into the RCM.
      • Make sure the thumb tab is engaged to the retainer on the RCM and locked in place.
