NOTE:
This step is only necessary when installing a new RCM (restraints control module).
NOTE:
The PMI (programmable module installation) process
must begin with the current RCM (restraints control module) installed.
If the current RCM (restraints control module) does not respond to the
diagnostic scan tool, the tool may prompt for As-Built Data as part of
the repair.
Using a diagnostic scan tool, begin the PMI process for the RCM following the on-screen instructions.

Installation
WARNING:
Incorrect repair techniques or actions can cause an
accidental pyrotechnic device deployment. Make sure the supplemental
restraint and pedestrian protection system (if equipped) is depowered
before reconnecting the component. Refer to the depowering General
Procedure in section 501-20B. Failure to precisely follow depowering
instructions could result in serious personal injury from an accidental
deployment.
-
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
-
Repower the SRS . For a new RCM , do not prove out the SRS at this time.
Refer to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Repowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures).
-
NOTE:
This step is only necessary when installing a new RCM .
Using a diagnostic scan tool, complete the PMI process for the RCM following the on-screen instructions.
-
NOTE:
This step is only necessary when installing a new RCM .
Carry out the ABS Calibration service function using the diagnostic scan tool and following the on-screen instructions.
-
For a new RCM , prove out the SRS
. Verify all airbags are installed and connected and the ignition is
OFF. Wait 10 seconds then turn the ignition ON and monitor the airbag
warning indicator. The airbag warning indicator illuminates continuously
for approximately 6 seconds and turns off. Continue to monitor the
airbag warning indicator for approximately 30 seconds, as this is the
time required for the RCM to complete testing of the SRS .
-
If a SRS
fault is present, the airbag warning indicator either fails to light,
remains lit continuously or flashes. The flashing may not occur until
approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from OFF to
ON. If this occurs, diagnose and repair any SRS faults before proceeding with other repairs.
-
If, after the ignition has been turned on for 30
seconds, the airbag warning indicator remains unlit with no chime or SRS
message displayed in the message center, no SRS fault is present.
-
If the airbag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS
fault exists, a chime sounds in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps or a
message displays in the message center. If this occurs, diagnose and
repair the airbag warning indicator and any SRS faults before proceeding with other repairs.
