    NOTE: During passenger air bag module installation, make sure the passenger air bag module wire harness routing clip is attached to the passenger air bag module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in wiring harness damage.
    NOTE: The passenger air bag module electrical connectors are unique and cannot be reversed when connected to the passenger air bag module. Match the electrical connector key to the keyway in the passenger air bag module. Do not force the electrical connectors into the passenger air bag module. Failure to follow these instructions may result in component and/or connector damage.

    NOTE: Make sure the driver air bag module wiring harness is routed down and away from the driver air bag module hooks during installation.
    NOTE: Audible clicks will be heard when the 3 wire clips are seated in the 3 driver air bag module hooks.
  14. Align the driver air bag module hooks to the steering wheel and, while pushing inward, seat the 3 driver air bag module hooks to the steering wheel wire clip.
    • When the 3 driver air bag module hooks are seated in place, gently pull outward at the corners of the driver air bag module to make sure that the 3 hooks are fully seated. There should also be an even gap between the driver air bag module trim cover and the steering wheel. Check the driver air bag module and trim cover for correct movement when applying the horn.
  15. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON.
  16. Install RCM fuse 32 (10A) to the SJB and install the cover.
    17. WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any air bag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
  17. Connect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES article.
  18. Prove out the SRS as follows:

    Turn the ignition from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition back ON and visually monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will:

    - fail to light.

    - remain lit continuously.

    - flash.

    The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

    Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM using a scan tool.
