Repowering Procedure

Vehicles With Ignition Switch 

1. Turn the ignition from OFF to ON.
WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any air bag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
2. Install RCM  fuse 32 (10A) to the SJB and close the cover.
3. Connect the battery ground cable.
4. Prove out the SRS  as follows:

   Turn the ignition from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition back to ON and monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning indicator will illuminate continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If a SRS  fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will:

   • fail to light.
   • remain lit continuously.
   • flash.

   The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM  to complete the testing of the SRS  If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS  fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

   Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM  and Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) using a scan tool.
