Removal and Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING: If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed whether or not the air bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  1. Depower the SRS. For additional information, refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  in the General Procedures portion of this section.
  2. If necessary, remove the radiator grille.
    • Remove the screw.
    • Remove the 4 scrivets.
    • Grasp the grille and pull forward to disengage the 3 lower clips and remove.
  3. Disconnect the front impact severity sensor electrical connector.
    4. 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.
  4. Remove the 2 bolts and front impact severity sensor.
      NOTE: For installation, position the front impact severity sensor at the top of the mounting bracket with the connector end facing the RH side of the vehicle.
