SITUATION:

POSSIBLE INCORRECTLY TORQUED SENSOR FASTENERS

Early editions of the RAVE Workshop Manual for 2003 Range Rover contained an incorrect torque specification for the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) side impact sensors. During the period that the incorrect information was published repairs involving side impact sensors may have been performed with incorrect torque applied to the sensor fasteners.

RESOLUTION:

VERIFY PROPER TORQUE ON SRS SIDE IMPACT SENSORS

At the next service opportunity perform the corrective action outlined in this bulletin to verify and ensure that the proper torque value has been applied to the SRS sensor on the affected vehicles.

PARTS INFORMATION:

No Parts Required

WARRANTY CLAIMS:

H119	Time 0.70 hrs. Verify torque on SRS side impact sensor fasteners

Normal warranty policy and procedures apply.

Material allowance is included in labor operation.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

VERIFY SRS SIDE SENSOR TORQUE

WARNING: The SRS system must be rendered "safe" prior to commencing repairs.

CAUTION: Failure to wait two minutes after switching off the ignition before disconnecting the battery will damage the navigation computer.

Refer to RAVE Workshop Manual General Information "Electrical Precautions, Battery Disconnection" and "Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Precautions" and perform the following:
- Switch off the ignition and wait two minutes to ensure NAV computer settings are preserved.
- Disconnect both battery cables and ensure that the SRS is in a safe condition to perform repairs.
Refer to RAVE section 76.74.11 and perform the following preliminary steps:
- Remove the 'B' post upper trim (RAVE section 76.13.28).
- Remove the front and rear carpet retainers (RAVE section 76.49.17).
Remove the Torx bolt securing the seat belt reel to the 'B' post and move the seat belt reel aside.
Remove the two scrivets securing the center carpet retainer to the 'B' post and remove the carpet retainer.
Tighten the side crash sensor retaining bracket Torx bolts to 8 N.m (72 lbf.in.). (Fig 1 )

Fig 1: Tightening Side Crash Sensor Retaining Bracket Torx Bolts

Position the seat belt reel to 'B' post, start the Torx bolt and tighten to 31 N.m (23 lbf.ft.).
Install the center carpet retainer to 'B' post and secure with scrivets.
Install the rear carpet retainer.
Install the front carpet retainer.
Install the 'B' post upper trim.
Go to Step 2 and perform the same procedure on the alternate side of the vehicle.
Connect the battery cables and reset vehicle systems as required.

INSTALL CAMPAIGN LABEL

NOTE: Campaign labels may have multiple Campaign numbers written on them if multiple campaigns are performed at the same time.

When all specified repairs have been accomplished, prepare the campaign label (LRN0002LABEL) as follows:
1. Place the label on a hard surface.
2. Use a ballpoint pen to neatly write/scribe in the bare aluminum areas of the label the following information:
  - Campaign code "H119"
  - Your retailer code
  - The date of repair
Clean all grease and dirt from the radiator support member.
Peel the completed campaign label from the backing paper and position it on the cleaned area.
Roll the label with the special roller tool to ensure proper adhesion.
