  21. With the locking buttons released, install the driver air bag module electrical connectors fully into the driver air bag module and seat the locking buttons.
    22. NOTE: Audible clicks will be heard when both wire clips are seated in the driver air bag module.
  22. Align the driver air bag module locking pins to the steering wheel and, while pushing inward, seat the 2 driver air bag module locking pins to the steering wheel wire clips.
    • When the 2 locking pins are seated in place, there should be an even gap between the driver air bag module trim cover and the steering wheel.
  23. Turn the ignition from OFF to ON.
  24. Install RCM  fuse 46 (7.5A) to the SJB  and install the lower kick panel fuse cover.
    25. 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.
  25. Connect the battery ground cable.
  26. Prove out the SRS  as follows:

    Turn the ignition from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition back to ON and 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 at a 5Hz rate (not configured).

    The air bag warning indicator may not illuminate 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 an SRS  fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.

    Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM  and Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) using a scan tool.
