Restraints Control Module (RCM): Installation

  1. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
  2. Repower the SRS  . Do not  prove out the SRS  at this time if installing a new RCM  .

    Refer to: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  .

  3. NOTE: This step is only necessary when installing a new component.

    Using a diagnostic scan tool, complete the PMI  process for the RCM  following the on-screen instructions.

  4. Prove out the SRS  by turning the ignition from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition back to ON and monitor the airbag warning indicator with the airbags installed. The airbag warning indicator illuminates continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turns off. If a SRS  fault is present, the airbag warning indicator will fail to light, remain lit continuously, or flash.
  5. The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from OFF to ON. This is the time required for the RCM  to complete the testing of the SRS  . If the airbag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS  fault exists, a chime sounds in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, diagnose and repair the airbag warning indicator and any SRS  faults.
  6. Clear all continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the RCM  and OCSM  using a diagnostic scan tool.
