Removal and Installation

WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.

NOTE:
- The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON.
- The supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Install a new power seat recliner assembly as a unit. Repair of the power seat recliner assembly components is not acceptable and should not be attempted.

1. Position the affected seat all the way forward and up.
2. Depower the SRS.

3. WARNING: Front seat backrest trim covers installed on seats equipped with seat side air bags cannot be repaired. A new trim cover must be installed. Cleaning is permissible. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the seat side air bag module deploying incorrectly and increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

NOTE: Note the alignment of the 2 side J-clips at the top of the seat to avoid bunching of the trim cover material during installation.
